Comparing POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet and Rods

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is very easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. The small parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve 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 do look similar, but in practical use there are some differences that may make one better 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty 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, durability and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
