Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s simple 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. Smaller parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary 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 critical. 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 many applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent 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 offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
