Eat ChikenDupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical uses there are some 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is especially 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 excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
