What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Round rods or sheets and plate

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses there are a few 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 applicable 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. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in boating 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.
