Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal or Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that can make one better 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty 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, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to 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 durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
