Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic . The smaller pieces usually ship promptly 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, as they have very comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses 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 applicable properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact an...
