Comparing Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have 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 very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb 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 and its excellent sliding abilities which help 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 lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
