What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts usually 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 look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily 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 probably our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty 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, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained 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 plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
