What the difference between Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses 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, be 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,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very 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, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the auto 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 Sustarin C is in water applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
