What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from iPlastic. The small parts 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 very durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are some 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
