Why you may pick Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They appear the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily 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,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 outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
