What the difference between Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic . The small parts always 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 tough and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all 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 best material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stabilit...
