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 machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, but it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from Industrial Plastic. The smaller parts always ship promptly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, and they have very similar physical properties. They appear similar, but in practical use there are a few 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 appropriate 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. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly 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 aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics used within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
