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...

Why you may pick Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic . The small pieces always ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that can 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 applicable properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the id...
