Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable 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 primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering 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 Acetal Sheet is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
