What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller pieces usually ship promptly 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 similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got 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 numerous applications and is particularly valued 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 stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
