Analyzing differences among Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably 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 preferred 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 numerous uses 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 Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce 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 will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
