Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from iPlastic. Smaller parts usually ship quickly 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 tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got 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, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent 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 delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
