Analyzing differences among Dupont Delrin and Acetal Copolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. Small parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily 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 probably our best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
