Precision Acetal Machining

Acetal, also known as polyoxymethylene or POM, is a high-performance thermoplastic with excellent resistance properties. With high tensile strength and a low coefficient of friction, acetal is ideal for components in harsh operating environments. It is a popular material for medical, automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.

We work with a variety of exotic materials in our services, including acetal. Our expert staff has the knowledge to consider all material characteristics during the machining process, ensuring that the methodology produces high-quality, high-accuracy parts that meet your requirements. Contact us to discuss your project specifications, and one of our helpful representatives will happily assist you.

Benefits of Acetal in Industrial Applications

Acetal is a low-friction polymer that is strong and stiff, but soft enough for high-quality machining. It is dimensionally stable, allowing finished parts to retain their dimensions due to its high stability across an extensive temperature range. Typically white, acetal is available in pigmented colors to suit your needs, offering the following benefits to your applications:

  • Wide temperature operating range
  • High mechanical strength and rigidity
  • Good insulator for electrical applications
  • Excellent fatigue endurance and impact resistance
  • Resists moisture, solvents, gas, and various neutral chemicals
  • Resilience and resistance to creep
  • Relatively cost-effective
  • Lubricity
