Comparing POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, however it requires slow speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from Industrial Plastic. Small pieces always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable 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. It has a very 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, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in boating applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
