Acetal ( "Delrin" "Wearace" - available in Sheet and Rod )
Acetal (polyoxymethylene or POM) is a high strength, low friction engineering plastic that has excellent wear properties in both wet and dry environments. Acetal is chemically resistant to hydrocarbons, solvents, and neutral chemicals. Easy to machine, acetal makes an outstanding choice for applications that require complex, tight tolerances.
Key Benefits:
- High mechanical strength
- Dimensional stability
- Excellent machinability
- Good creep resistance
- Very low stick-slip
- Physiologically inert
- Low moisture absorption
Applications:
- Precision gears
- Bearings with close tolerance
- Electrical engineering insulations
- Snap fit assemblies
- Parts which operate in water up to 90 C
