    Acetal

    High strength, stiff, low friction engineering


    plastic with good wear properties
    Acetal is widely used for:
    ■ Bearings and bushings
    ■ Pump and valve parts
    ■ Manifolds
    ■ Gears
    ■ Jigs and fixtures
    ■ Food processing and other packaging
    machinery parts
    ■ Wear pads
    Acetal (polyoxymethylene) is a high strength, low friction engineering plastic
    that has excellent wear properties in both wet and dry environments. Easy to ■ Electrical components
    machine, acetal makes an outstanding choice for applications that require
    Performance characteristics:
    complex, tight tolerances.
    ■ Strong and stiff
    Acetal Material Options ■ Excellent machinability
    Homopolymer vs Copolymer – Acetal is available in both homopolymer ■ Low moisture absorption
    (Delrin® 150) and copolymer. ■ Excellent wear properties in both wet
    and dry environments
    • Homopolymer acetal (Delrin®) has superior room temperature strength, ■ Low friction
    stiffness, and toughness. ■ Good chemical resistance
    • Copolymer acetal has excellent performance in continuous high heat and
    hot water environments. Copolymer acetal also tends to have less porosity than Common brands:
    homopolymer acetal. ■ Delrin®
    ■ SUSTARIN®
    FDA Compliant Materials – Acetal is available in FDA compliant grades.
    ■ TECAFORM®
    Acetal Grades – Acetal is available in a number of grades, including enhanced
    bearing and wear Delrin® AF, Delrin® 100AF blend, Delrin® AF DE588, and Available in:
    TECAFORM® HPV13. Delrin® 511P is a homopolymer acetal that offers enhanced
    crystallization characteristics. This higher level of crystallization helps to augment
    aspects of the physical properties such as fatigue strength, stiffness, and creep
    resistance. Ask about special formulations that offer medical, metal detectable,
    Sheet Rod Tube
    x-ray detectable, or static dissipative grades.
    Chemical Attack – Acetal is chemically resistant to many fuels and solvents.
    Wear Resistance – Acetal offers good wear and abrasion properties.
