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

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one better 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary 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 important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained 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 durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
