What Is Acetal?
Acetal is an engineering thermoplastic designed for precision, low friction, and consistent mechanical performance. It is composed of polyoxymethylene (POM), resulting in a material with high stiffness, low wear, and excellent dimensional stability. This structure enables reliable performance in tight-tolerance and moving components. Acetal offers low moisture absorption, good chemical resistance, and excellent machinability, making it suitable for applications requiring accuracy and repeatability. It performs reliably across a range of temperatures while maintaining structural integrity and low friction characteristics. This material is a dependable choice for applications that require precision, durability, and consistent performance in mechanical systems.
