Analyzing differences amoung 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 CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical use there are some 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 probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is particularly 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 help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
