How to compare Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim . Smaller parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for f...
