Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Round rods or sheets and plate

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it does require reduced 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 has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly 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 superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
