Miller Plastics uses state-of-the-art technology and years of experience to bring precision and quality to custom machining processes. So if you’re looking for quality acetal plastic machining, you’re in the right place.
However, if you’re relatively new to the subject, let’s break down what you can expect from our acetal plastic components, starting with the essentials: What is acetal plastic? Acetal plastic, in engineering terms, can refer to polyoxymethylene, an engineering plastic containing acetal groups.
Now that you know the “what” behind acetal plastics, let’s move on to the “why.” Advantages of machining acetal plastic include:
- They are chemically resistant
- They have very low water absorption
- They are resistant to hydrolysis by base
Acetal Material Highlights:
- Low co-efficient of friction
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance properties
- Low moisture absorption
- Low centerline porosity
- Easily fabricated and machined
- Chemically resistance to neutral chemicals, hydrocarbons and solvents
- High tensile strength
- Continuous operating temperature of up to 185 degrees Celsius
- Available in natural and black
- FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy compliant
Applications:
- Gears
- Pulleys
- Rollers
- Bearings
- Bushings
- Cams
- Medical Parts
- Valves
- Seals
To put it lightly, acetal plastic machining is a diverse, effective means of custom-building workplace components. After all, every workplace tool must meet the unique conditions of that specific area and application. Don’t worry; when you need a custom solution with the help of durable acetal, you can reach out to Miller Plastics. Request a quote for our custom acetal machining services today.
