How to compare Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods
Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, although it does require slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from Industrial Plastic . The small parts always 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 incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one better 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 desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food co...
