Why you may pick Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few 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 primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and 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 auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
