Acetal rod

Acetal rods offer excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, and high mechanical strength. With natural lubricity and a hard surface, they provide durability and wear resistance in demanding applications. Their low moisture absorption ensures consistent performance, and they can withstand temperatures from -45°C to +100°C without losing strength.

Key Features

• High impact resistance and durability.
• Superior dimensional stability and surface hardness.
• Excellent dielectric strength and solvent resistance.
• Low moisture absorption for reliable performance.
• Suitable for high-temperature water applications (Copolymer grades).

Applications

Acetal rods are widely used in the food industry (though not all grades are F.D.A.-approved) and in manufacturing components like bearings, gears, bushings, and wear-resistant parts.

Polymer Types

• Homopolymer: Delrin®
• Copolymer: Celcon® / Hostaform®

Standard Colours

• White
• Black (UV-stabilised)

Speciality Grades

1. C.L. – Chemically lubricated for smoother performance.
2. A.F. – PTFE (Teflon®) filled for enhanced wear resistance.
3. G.F. – Glass-filled (up to 30%) for improved strength.
4. E.L. – Electrically conductive for specific applications.
5. S.D. – Static dissipative for handling sensitive electronics.
