Why choose Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delving into main reason Dupont Delrin Homopolymer is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical use there are a few 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is especially of value 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 aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
