- No center line porosity in Acetal CoPolymer
Engineering specifications for Acetal CoPolymer Rod are: - Tensile Strength – 9,500 psi
- Compressive Strength – 15,000 psi
- Water Absorption (saturation) – 0.9%
- Continuous Service Temperature - 180° deg. F
- Resistant to Hydrocarbons, Ketones, Ethers, Chlorinated solvents (limited service) & Alcohols
- Flammability rating UL94:HB
Engineering Notes:In general, acetals do not perform as well in abrasive wear applications as nylons. Compensation for moisture related growth generally allows Nylatron® nylons to be used for wet, abrasive applications. If your application requires dimensional consistency in an abrasive, high humidity or submerged environment, Ertalyte® PET-P will often offer improved performance.
