Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, although it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from iPlastic. Smaller parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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 probably our best material for machining,giving an nice 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 critical. Acetal Sheet has the best 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 certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
