Brand information

What is Acetal?
Acetal, also known as polyoxymethylene (POM), is a type of thermoplastic polymer recognized for its strength, stiffness, and low moisture absorption. Copolymer acetal like Amcel® offers improved resistance to hydrolysis and enhanced toughness compared to homopolymer alternatives, making it ideal for demanding engineering applications.

Benefits of Amcel Acetal Copolymer:

• Excellent mechanical strength and rigidity

• Superior dimensional stability and creep resistance

• Low coefficient of friction and good wear properties

• Excellent resistance to fuels, solvents, and chemicals

• Reduced porosity for improved machinability

Common Acetal Applications:

• Automotive components (fuel system parts, gears, clips)

• Industrial machinery (bearings, rollers, housings)

• Consumer goods (zippers, appliance parts, fasteners)

• Electrical and electronic applications (connectors, insulators)

Whether you're seeking a dependable acetal plastic for precision parts or durable components in high-wear environments, Celanese Amcel® delivers consistent performance backed by a legacy of innovation.
