The Acetal Sheet, part of the Delrin and Acetal range, is a versatile material stocked in various forms for easy machining and tight tolerances. Ideal for self-lubricating bearing surfaces in water-filled applications, its low water absorption and crisp machining make it perfect for valves, seats, and moving parts. Compliant with FDA, USDA, NSF, and ASTM standards, this material offers excellent wear resistance, low coefficients of friction, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for critical tolerance parts.

Applications Applications
Applications - Frequently used in:Wear and Slide machined parts from Rod and PlateFDA, NSF, 3-A, and USDA Compliant Machined PartsEasily machined parts for water / moisture environmentsCritical tolerance and dimensionally stable parts185ºF Continuous Temperature EnvironmentsCustom formulations, PTFE - TFE Filled for wear resistanceRod and Rods, Sheet and Sheets for numerous applicationsAcetal Sheet and Rod Specifications:In stock we normally carry one of these resins: BASF Ultraform H4320, Kepital F10-02, or Hostaform M25. Current Certifications and Specifications used for Acetal - Delrin: FDA, USDA, NSF, ASTM D4181, ASTM D6778 and ASTM D6100. Superseded or out dated Specifications for Acetal - Delrin: LP-392Some reasons to choose Homopolymer vs. Copolymer:Both POM grades have very similar properties. Our clients seem to prefer the Acetal over the Homopolymer materials due to the inherent center-line porosity in the Delrin® Homo-polymer version. This means, that along the center of a rod, or the middle of a sheet, there is a band, of area of tiny porous material. This can weaken or cause problems with a finished part, and in extreme cases you may see blow by or leakage at this center line. While Delrin® is a brand name, it is a POM Homo-polymer. The most requested and popular item we supply is the Acetal; the POM Co-polymer resin made by one of the other big resin manufacturers - like BASF or Celanese/Tacona. Both of these resins are readily available.
