What the difference between POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s simple to turn, but it does require reduced speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. Small pieces usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are quite tough and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all 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 probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an excellent 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 critical. Acetal Sheet has the perfect 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 gained Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Pomalux is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that won’t expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
