Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications 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 Sheets are of the engineering plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
