Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent 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 excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive 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 Sustarin C is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
