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

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, however it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few 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 applicable 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. Its got a pretty 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 countless uses and is particularly 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 Sheets are of the engineering plastics used within the auto 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 Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
