How to compare Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical uses there are some 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty 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 superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many 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 Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used 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 Acetal Sheet is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
