Reasons Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable 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. It has a very 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, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb 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 toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
