Proto Tech Tip - Types of Acetal: Copolymer vs Homopolymer

Every week, Team Protocase is bringing you a Proto Tech Tip video, where we'll give an informative look at a particular aspect of sheet metal fabrication and CNC Machining.

In this week's video, Chris is back to talk about the two different types of Acetal that we offer (Copolymer and Homopolymer) and the benefits of using each type of plastic.



Thanks for watching! We will be releasing new Proto Tech Tip videos every Tuesday @ 2PM EST.

Really impressive! but I didn't get it well when it comes to Medical application, why does Co-POM suit better than H-POM? Thanks!

Which type would be best for machining on a lathe? I will be using 1" dia. round stock and need the surfaces to be very smooth. I recently had a bad experience with a piece of copolymer which would NOT machine smoothly with any of my tooling. Surfaces came out looking like I was trying to make threads! Thank you.
