What the difference between Acetal Copolymer and Dupont Delrin in Sheet and Rods

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, but it requires slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small pieces usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have comparable 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 heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in water applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.

Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely 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 usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
