Reasons to choose Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from iPlastic. Smaller parts always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly valued 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 chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create 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 will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
