Why you may choose either POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, although it does require slow speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. The small pieces usually ship quickly and everything is always 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 very comparable physical properties. They look similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that can 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,giving 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 critical. 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 numerous applications and is particularly valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve 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 automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
