How to compare Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Smaller parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but for practical use there are some 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 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. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used 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 sheet Acetal is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
