Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends 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 definitely our best 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 perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
