Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate 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. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce 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 will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
