Analyzing differences among Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate
Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic . Small parts always ship quickly and everything was 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, and they have very similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where th...
