Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily 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 definitely our primary material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. 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 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 Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in water applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
