Why you may pick Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. The small pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They appear the same, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications 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 excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers 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 its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
