Acetron® Grades & Key Properties
Because Acetron® absorbs minimal amounts of moisture, its physical properties remain constant in a variety of environments. Low moisture absorption results in excellent dimensional stability for close-tolerance machined parts. In high moisture or submerged applications, Acetron® bearings outperform nylon 4 to 1. Acetron® is ideally suited for close tolerance mechanical parts and electrical insulators which require strength and stiffness. It also offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals including many solvents.
Acetron® is available in both homopolymer and copolymer grades including enhanced bearing grade materials. Acetron® GP POM-C acetal is porosity-free and offered as a standard general purpose grade. For slightly higher mechanical properties, we offer a broad size range of the homopolymer acetal (Acetron®) products. For improved frictional properties PTFE-enhanced Acetron® AF products are available. Acetron® GP is available in FDA Compliant colors including; Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gray, Brown & Orange. Note: Minimums may apply depending on size and color.
