Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired 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 d...
