Analyzing differences among POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought many items from iPlastic. 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, as they have very similar physical properties. They appear the same, but for practical use there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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 definitely our primary 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 usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and strength, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications 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 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 chosen within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers 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 the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
