Acetal
Acetal, often referred to as Polyoxymethylene (POM), is a versatile engineering thermoplastic highly regarded in the plastics industry for its exceptional mechanical properties. Known for its high strength, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability, Acetal is frequently used in the manufacturing of precision parts. It is highly resistant to moisture, solvents, and wear, making it ideal for applications including gears, bearings, automotive components, and consumer electronics. Acetal's machinability and robustness make it a popular choice for replacing metal components, reducing weight without compromising performance. Additionally, it offers excellent resistance to fatigue, ensuring durability in demanding environments. Articles on this page explore Acetal’s unique properties, applications, benefits, and its role in enhancing product innovation and efficiency across various industries.
