Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance. Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I’ve usedII have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous Acetal Copolymer items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical use 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 want for your application.
