Analyzing differences among Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic . Small parts always 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 appear the same, but for practical use there are some 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 desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contac...
