Reasons to choose Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,as it gives 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 the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
