Looking at comparisons between Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Reasons Dupont Delrin Homopolymer is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,giving an excellent 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 important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness 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 helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid 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 delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine 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.
