Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic. The small 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 quite tough and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
