Description

Acetal rod is a strong, rigid plastic with excellent impact and mechanical strength. It has low water absorption and is resistant to dilute acids, cleaning agents and numerous solvents.

Acetal rod is easily machined and is commonly used in food contact applications. It is more resistant to hydrolysis and strong alkalis, and has a higher thermal expansion rate than acetal homopolymer.

FAQ

What is the moisture absorption of Acetal Rod?
Another advantage is that it absorbs very little moisture which means that components can be machined more accurately and can be relied upon to keep their tolerances and not expand regardless of the conditions. This means that for components that are expected to work in damp or wet conditions, Acetal Rod would provide the ideal choice.

Is Acetal Rod suitable for food applications?
Acetal Rod is excellent for any application where food is involved. Acetal is totally food safe as a result of its minimal moisture absorption and therefore bacteria absorption. Many companies within the food industry will often specify that their components or items are machined from Acetal.
