What the difference between Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical use there are some 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 probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual 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 countless 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 excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
