Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal or Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Image
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic . The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They look similar, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food co...
