Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are a few 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 definitely our primary material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent 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 durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
