Comparing POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s very easy to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear the same, 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, 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 best material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very 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 excellent 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 gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the engineering plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It offers 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 quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
