Compare and contrast Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Round rods or sheets and plate

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
