Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They 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 primary material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in moisture 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.
