Comparing 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 pretty easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. Smaller parts always 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, as they have very comparable physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical use there are a few differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, make 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,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty 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, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval along with 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 toughness. It provides 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 well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
