Description
This Black Acetal C Rod is a high-strength engineering plastic suitable for various applications. Ideal for food-related uses, it offers excellent machining properties.
Material Properties
The Acetal C Rod is made from Polyoxymethylene Copolymer, providing high stiffness, tensile strength, and surface hardness. It is more resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkalis, and thermal-oxidative degradation compared to Acetal H, making it suitable for demanding environments.
Machining Advantages
Acetal Rod is easier to machine than other materials like nylon, producing minimal burrs and allowing for a superior surface finish. It is compatible with CNC machines, enabling efficient automated machining processes.
Food Compliance
This material is food compliant, with low moisture absorption and minimal bacteria retention, making it an excellent choice for food-related applications. Its black color also aids in visual inspections for any damage.
Applications
Common applications include seals, gears, marine components, insulators, medical instrument handles, steam cleaning equipment, bearings, and impellers.
