Analyzing differences among Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. Smaller pieces always 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 incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
