Acetal Resin

OVERVIEW

Acetal is a thermoplastic resin commonly used for injection molding applications. Acetal resins, or technically called polyoxymethylenes (POM), are among the strongest and stiffest of thermoplastics. Acetal copolymers are well known for their fatigue and wear resistance as well as high chemical resistance and dimensional stability. 

Acetal resins provide an outstanding consistency of properties and color. They have exceptional solvent resistance, and are virtually unaffected by strong bases. Acetals are rigid, creep resistant and strong. They possess low coefficients of friction, and remain stable at high temperatures, even for extended use. 

Types of Acetal Resin:

· Acetal 9 Melt Copolymer (M90 Type) - Natural - Direct equivalent to Ticona Celon* M90 Natural

· Acetal 9 Melt Copolymer (M90 Type) - Black - Direct equivalent to Ticona Celcon* M90 Black

· Acetal Homopolymer, 15 Melt, (500P Type) - Natural - Direct equivalent to Dupont Delrin* 500P Natural

· Acetal Homopolymer, 15 Melt, (500P Type) - Black - Direct equivalent to Dupont Delrin* 500P Black
