Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may 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 definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent 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 superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is particularly 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 excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.

Saving thousand dollars a year is THIS easy!

I am always in wonder at how some people complain about having no money.. and yet seem to have a blind spot on what they spend money on. Luckily for Mr Zhong Shanshan  (whom I bet you’ve never heard of!)  there are enough blind spotters in the world to make him the 6th richest man in the world.  How did that happen? Simple. He bet on people’s blind spot and sold them exactly what they never needed but suddenly though they did. Bottled water. Think about it. If you are 30 or over you still remember when you DIDNT see the need to buy bottled after. You drank water from your home tap. Then came the fear campaigns (and the chemicals!) that proved to you that water enclosed in a plastic sheath, and sold to you by a multinational was ‘better’. Yes, it may be better if it can be proven it is chemical free.. but the scores of cases already recorded of exposes of companies that just filled bottles with tap water makes that one hard to accept. And now we know about the problems of plastics and ...

GRAB THE BEST YOU DESERVE!

Hard Candy Vitamins are the best for you if you experience difficulty in swallowing pills and capsules. Capsules and pills usually contain certain nutrients that make them bitter and chalky to the taste.  That is why many people experience a hard time swallowing them. Some even have to drink water in large quantities to get them down. These issues are absent in the whole hard candy vitamin experience. These vitamins are fantastic in taste and go down very easily. The body requires a certain level of all vitamins and nutrients. They are salubrious and beneficial to the body and its functioning when present in the required amounts within the body. However, excess or increase in these levels can entail disastrous implications. It can even lead to toxicity or other sorts of deficiencies in the body if certain vitamins or nutrients exceed their required amount. This is the problem that most people face with normal vitamins. They either contain too much of a specific nutrient/vitamin or too ...
