What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends 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 choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many 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 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 automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH 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.
