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 lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from Industrial Plastic. Smaller pieces usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one better 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 desired 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 very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained 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 used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
