What the difference between POM H and POM C acetals in Round rods or sheets and plate
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. The small parts always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto 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 Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
