Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic. Smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but for practical uses there are some 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, 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 superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
