Compare and contrast 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, but it does require slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything has been 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, as they have very similar physical properties. They look similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our best material for machining,as it gives an great 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 an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is certainly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and 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 used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
