We have it all, and the best part is that our rods are is all made out of high-quality material and perfectly cut right here in the United States of America! POM-H VS. POM-C: When assessing what type of acetal rod makes sense to use in your next project there is a lot to consider. Will the rods be able to withstand the high stress of being cut? How will they look afterward? If you use them in a high-stress, corrosive, moist or hot environment, will they last? Finally, you have to decide between homopolymer (POM-H) or copolymer (POM-C) material. When taking all of these questions into consideration, the choice between POM-H and POM-C becomes easy. Delrin round stock (POM-H) is an inferior material as copolymer acetal hosts so many benefits when these two are compared to one another. POM-C is more smooth, resistant to cracks and scratches, resistant to chemicals, and electrically resistant than acetal homopolymers. In addition, the centerline porosity of acetal copolymer is very minimal and can occasionally achieve zero, meaning the core of the rod does not let anything in or out, whether it be water or gas. This is not the case with acetal homopolymer. All in all, the choice is clear when searching for a long-lasting material to use for any unique and special project.
