Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The small parts always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,giving 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 critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
