Acetal Rod has excellent load-bearing qualities this multi use plastic is excellent in both tension and compression. It will absorb minimal amount of moisture and are resistant to a wide range of solvents. The service temperature range is -29¼ to 85¼ C, intermittent at 93.3¼ C. It has high yield strength at elevated temperatures. Properties include low friction (very slippy), high wear resistance and ease of fabrication._ How it performs Acetal offers high tensile strength, stiffness, and creep resistance, and significantly outperforms many other polymers on impact resistance, allowing for thinner and lighter part design. In addition it offers outstanding low and high temperature performance, good colour ability, and good mating with metal and other polymers. It provides dimensional stability in high precision moulding and flexibility of design.__ What it's used for:-Mechanical gears, slide-ways and guiding elements, housing parts, screws, nuts, fan wheels, pump parts, valve bodies._ Electrical Engineering: insulators, bobbins, connectors, parts for electronic devices etc._ Vehicle: Fuel sender unit, Light stock (including shifter for light, turn signal), power windows, door lock systems, articulated shells._ Medical: insulin pen, Metered dose inhalers (MDI)_ Furniture: hardware, locks, handles, hinges._ Construction: Structural Glass - pod holder for point_ Packaging: aerosol cans, vehicle tanks._
