Comparing POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any 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 probably 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 critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is particularly valued 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 help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for sheet Acetal is in boating 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.
