Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim . Small parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally tough and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that may make one better 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 definitely our choice material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food c...
