I have purchased many items from iPlastic . The smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.

They look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable 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 best material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where...
