Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do appear similar, but in practical use there are some 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 best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
