Acetal

Acetal CoPolymer Plate, Rod, Sheet and Tubes

Acetal CoPolymer Rod –  In-line photometric quality procedures assure that this material is porosity free. Acetal CoPolymer Sheets, Plates, and Rod “Natural” is FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy compliant.

Other attributes of Acetal CoPolymer products include:

  • Low moisture absorption
  • High strength, stiffness
  • Easy to machine
  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Better yields and improved productivity
  • Closer tolerances and maximum straightness
  • 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 a submerged environment, Ertalyte® PET-P will often offer improved performance.
