Compare and contrast Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic . The smaller pieces 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 quite durable 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, 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 primary material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact...
