Reasons to choose Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily 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 best material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
