Acetal Sheet is a versatile engineering plastic known for its high stiffness and strength. Ideal for food preparation and various industrial uses.
Material Properties
Acetal Sheet, made from Polyoxymethylene Copolymer, offers exceptional stiffness, tensile strength, and surface hardness. It is more resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkalis, and thermal-oxidative degradation compared to other types of Acetal.
Machining Advantages
This material is easier to machine than Nylon, producing fewer burrs and allowing for a smoother finish. Acetal Sheet chips during machining, which prevents the long swarf threads often encountered with other plastics.
Moisture Resistance and Food Safety
Acetal Sheet absorbs minimal moisture, which helps maintain dimensional stability and reduces distortion. It is food compliant, making it safe for use in food preparation and production, and is resistant to bacteria.
Applications
Common applications include seals, gears, marine components, insulators, medical instrument handles, steam cleaning, bearings, and impellers. Its low friction properties make it suitable for sliding components.
