Insights into the comparison of Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate

Reasons Dupont Delrin 150SA is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily 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 probably our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is especially 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 help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
