How to compare Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be 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 great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create 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 results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
