Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic. Smaller pieces 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 exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one better 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,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal 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 outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
