How to compare Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent 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 aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering 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 Sustarin C is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
