Acetal & Delrin Material | MPQ Plastics

Acetal is a hard engineering plastic with high tensile strength and rigidity and is an excellent all round, all purpose plastic material. Acetal is an excellent material for cnc machining and is commonly used for acetal bushings, rollers, gears, automotive applications, conveyor equipment and many more due to the materials high tensile strength, stiffness and excellent sliding properties.

Acetal material is recommended for components if being used underwater due to the materials low moisture absorption and is FDA approved material.
