Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, although it does require slow speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from iPlastic . Small pieces usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food c...
