Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Round rods or sheets and plate

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s simple to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,giving 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 critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the 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 Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter 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 ...
