Acetal Copolymer (OmniAcetal)

Acetal C, or Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C), is known for its excellent mechanical and chemical properties, wear resistance and dimensional stability. Ideal for mechanical parts that need stability.

• Higher strength and stiffness and toughness
• Low moisture absorption compared to Nylons
• Temperature range -50°C to +100°C
• Excellent machinability
• Good electrical insulation
• Good chemical resistance
• FDA compliance
• Available in colours

• UV degradation
• Flammability
• Brittle at low temperatures
• Lower abrasion resistance compared to Nylons

Gears, bearings, rollers, pumps, valves and much more

Acetal C, or Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) filled with Polyethylene (PE). It has all the properties of Acetal C, but with superior sliding properties and wear resistance. Ideal for moving parts that require self-lubrication.

• Low friction
• Temperature range -30°C to +100°C
• Chemical resistance
• High wear resistance
• Dimensional stability
• FDA compliance

• UV resistance
• Flammability
• Centreline porosity
• Poor chemical resistance to strong acids, bases and oxidizers

Wear strips, bearings, bushes, marine, medical, food and much more.
