What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily 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 choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with 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 automotive 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 Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
