Analyzing differences amoung Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Small pieces usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
