Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. Smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal 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 certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which aid 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 lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
