Analyzing differences amoung Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,giving an great 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 perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve 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 toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
