Analyzing differences among Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They look the same, but in practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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 best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers 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 well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
