Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything is always 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 similar physical properties. They look the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that can 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very 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 toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to 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 lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides 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 quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
