What the difference between Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic. Small pieces always ship quickly 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 appear the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very 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, durability and toughness, giving it superb 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 superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
