Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one better 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 probably our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous 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 superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen 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 sheet Acetal is in water applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
