Reasons to choose POM H and POM C acetals in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, however it requires reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought countless items from iPlastic. The smaller pieces always ship promptly 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, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable 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 ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it outstanding sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has numerous uses and is certainly of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet is one of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long term dimensional stability and durability. It delivers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal well because the low moisture absorption will result in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
