Analyzing differences amoung Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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 probably our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is certainly 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 help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
