Comparing Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. Smaller pieces usually 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 very tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but in 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, make 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 excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
