Acetal Copolymer Extruded Rod
Unfilled acetal copolymer is a strong, rigid yet flexible thermoformable plastic. It provides greater impact resistance over acetal homopolymer and offers good formability. Acetal copolymer works well in both wet and dry environments under 200°F. It has less porosity and a better chemical resistance than acetal homopolymer and can withstand many fuels and solvents. Because of its high strength and dimensional stability, acetal copolymer can be used as a replacement for metal.
