What the difference between POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is simple to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small parts usually ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem 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 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 desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is probably our choice 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 ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has the best combination of high mechanical strength, durability and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous applications and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval and 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 used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
