Why you may pick Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small parts usually 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 exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable 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 pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to 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 used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers 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 quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
