  • Acetal has very good operating temperatures and excellent chemical resistance with very low moisture absorption.  
  • Acetal is approved by the Food & Drug Administration and the marine industry because it is non-hygroscopic – the finished product will not expand or swell due to moisture absorption.

Key Properties:

  • Machinability
  • High mechanical strength and rigidity
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Natural Lubricity
  • Resistance to chemicals
