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

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. Small parts usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one better 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 critical. 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 countless uses 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 Sheets are of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
