Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate 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 preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb 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 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 auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
