Acetal
is one of the most widely used
engineering plastics available
with excellent strength and
rigidity. Its dimensional stability,
low moisture absorption, and
hard surface make it ideal for
close tolerance machined components.
Acetal has very good wear resistance
in wet environments, and is
FDA, USDA, and 3-A Dairy compliant.
Both grades of the material
–Homopolymer and Copolymer—exhibit
these characteristics. Homopolymer
material has slightly higher
strength, while the Copolymer
material is porosity free.
