ACETAL
Acetal is an engineering thermoplastic known in the industry as Acetyl, used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. Acetal is characterised by its high strength, hardness and rigidity to −40 °C. Typically, Acetyl is chosen for applications involving high-performance engineering components such as small gear wheels, eyeglass frames, ball bearings, knife handles, and lock systems. The material is widely used in the automotive and consumer electronics industry due to its unique Acetyl properties.
