Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate
Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better 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 definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very 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 outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
