Comparing POM H and POM C acetals in Round rods or sheets and plate

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from Industrial Plastic. The small parts usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any 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 probably our primary material for machining,giving an excellent 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 important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal 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 particularly 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 help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. 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 the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
