Why you may choose either Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar 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 on your application. As with any 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 choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has 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 strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses 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 in addition to its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive 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 sheet Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
