Analyzing differences amoung Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic . The smaller pieces 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 very tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable 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 desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice 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 and where the dimensional sta...
