What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim . The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable 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 desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and whe...
