Why choose Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Important reasons Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be 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,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very 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, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially of value 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 stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
