Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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 probably our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C 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.
