Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from iPlastic. Smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen 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 Acetal is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
