Analyzing differences among Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces 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 incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They appear the same, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends 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 probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH 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.
