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

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 definitely our best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless 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 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 used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in moisture 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.
