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:
Amcel POM acetal copolymer is used across a variety of industries, including:
• 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.
