Analyzing differences among Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses there are some 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 probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers 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 the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
