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

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, although it does require slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. The smaller parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C 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 can make one preferable 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 probably our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially 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 engineering 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 Sustarin C is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
