Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

by Gary S. Bitcoin & Crypto News & Reviews

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical uses there are some 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 appropriate 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 pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses 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 in addition to its superb sliding abilities which aid 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 toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
