Acetal
Acetal
Boasting high strength and stiffness, it is among the strongest and stiffest of all thermoplastics — coupled with high dimensional stability and ease of machining. Acetal is one of the most widely used engineering-grade thermoplastics and is easy to machine, making it an excellent choice for complex parts where tight tolerances are required. It may also be processed by conventional injection moulding and extrusion techniques.
Versatility
Acetal has superior flexural and tensile strength, coupled with incredible hardness and dimensional stability.
Corrosion Resistant
Acetal homopolymers are able to resist corrosion and degradation in freshwater, solvents, saltwater, reagents and oils.
Consistent
When exposed to various temperature ranges, none of its properties are compromised. Thus keeping the fatigue resistance high along with lubricity and creep resistance.
