What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Round rods or sheets and plate
Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it requires slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from a plastic shop in Anaheim . The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical use there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any 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 best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption makin...
