Compare and contrast POM H and POM C acetals in Round rods or sheets and plate

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it requires slow speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from Industrial Plastic. Small parts always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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 definitely our choice 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 ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the perfect 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 certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the engineering plastics chosen within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
