Comparing Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods
Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic . Smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any 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 primary material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional...
