How to compare Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from Industrial Plastic . Smaller parts 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 incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact
