Analyzing differences among Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces always ship quickly 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 incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is certainly valued 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 plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in water applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
