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

Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything was 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, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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,giving an great 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 excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve 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 stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
