Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Round rods or sheets and plate

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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 primary material for machining,giving 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 best 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 certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve 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 plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
