Compare and contrast POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it requires slower speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered countless items from iPlastic. Smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice material for machining,as it gives an excellent 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 perfect combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially valued 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 automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It provides solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Sustarin C is in moisture applications. This environment suits acetal well because its low moisture absorption results in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
