Analyzing differences among Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic. Small pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly 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 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 term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
