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
As you can see, in the right circumstances, acetal plastic machining is perfect for custom-building various workplace materials. These materials bring even more benefits to the table.
 
Next, we’ll delve into the top details you should know about acetal.
 

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
As we mentioned above, machining acetal plastics is efficient and effective in the right circumstances. So what exactly are the right circumstances? Read the list below to discover many of the applications of custom machining acetal plastics.
 

Applications:

  • Gears
  • Pulleys
  • Rollers
  • Bearings
