Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from iPlastic. Smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but for practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the automotive 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 Acetal is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
