Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical use 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 best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many 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 help 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 durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
