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

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it requires slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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 primary material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is especially valued 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 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 lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
