Analyzing differences amoung Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered 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 POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They look similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that may 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in water 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.
