Comparing Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving 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 best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
