Introduction

Polyacetal, also known as Acetal, has been mass-produced since 1958.

- It is a thermoplastic.

- Applications: Used in quality toy parts, handles and knobs, and bearing parts.

- General properties: It is lubricious, strong, and has good dimensional stability. Resistance to creep and fatigue, high abrasion and chemical resistance.

- Trade Name: Delrin, Ultraform.
