Polyoxymethylene Acetal Suppliers

Acetal (Polyoxymethylene) is a wear resistant, engineering thermoplastic. It is manufactured in 2 types, Copolymers and Homopolymers. This semi-crystalline material can perform under high temps, it has a continuous use temperature of up 180° F (82° C). It’s been manufactured and offered commercial for well over 50 years.

The 2 types have different strengths and physical properties. Acetal copolymer is traditionally a lower cost option than Acetal Homopolymer.
