Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal or Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that may 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 probably our best material for machining,giving an excellent 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 best combination of high mechanical strength, durability 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 gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the auto 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 Tecaform AH is in water applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
