Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts always ship promptly and everything has been 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, and they have very similar physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got 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 outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly 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 help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the auto 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 Acetal is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
