Compare and contrast 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 lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it requires slower speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. Smaller parts usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, but in practical uses there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any 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 probably our best material for machining,as it gives an nice 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 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 uses and is especially 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 used within the automotive 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 quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
