White Acetal Copolymer Round Bar
2Inch Diameter x 12Inch Length | High-Strength Engineering Plastic
Our White Acetal Copolymer (POM-C) rod is a high-performance engineering plastic known for its exceptional dimensional stability and ease of machining. Often selected as an upgrade to Nylon, Acetal is the preferred choice for precision parts that must maintain their exact size and shape when exposed to moisture or varying temperatures.
This 2-inch diameter rod features a smooth, opaque white finish, making it ideal for both industrial applications and food-contact environments.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Low Moisture Absorption: Unlike Nylon, Acetal does not swell in humid or wet conditions, ensuring your precision-machined parts stay within tolerance.
-
High Rigidity & Strength: Offers excellent structural integrity and impact resistance.
-
Superior Machinability: Known for producing clean, small chips; it can be turned, milled, and drilled with extreme precision and a high-quality surface finish.
-
Low Friction: Naturally slippery surface makes it excellent for moving parts, bushings, and slides.
