Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical use there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
