Compare and contrast POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic. The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They look the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily 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 best material for machining,giving an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has many applications and is particularly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval and its excellent sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best 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 create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because its low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
