Reasons Dupont Delrin Homopolymer is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, be 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 great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has 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 toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen 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 sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
