Top reasons Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require slow speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all 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 probably our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. 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 well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
