Acetal polymers, referred to chemically as POM PolyOxyMethylene, are semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics made by the polymerization of formaldehyde. They have physical properties that are not available with metals or most other plastics; high mechanical strength and rigidity, low coefficients of friction, low moisture absorption, excellent dimensional stability, fatigue endurance, and resistance to abrasion and creep. These materials are also resistant to a wide range of solvents and have good electrical properties.

HPV13 is a brown homopolymer acetal with an internal PTFE lubricant. Its low coefficient of friction, excellent PV values, toughness, wear resistance, and machinability make it an exceptional material for use in many industrial and military components with moving parts. Additionally, HPV13 has superior chemical resistance and flexural fatigue properties, as well as low moisture absorption associated with acetal materials,

PTFE-Filled Acetal Shapes

Overview:
PTFE-filled Acetal (also known as PTFE-enhanced POM or PTFE-blended acetal) is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for applications requiring low friction, enhanced wear resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. By incorporating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) into the acetal matrix, this material combines the strength and machinability of acetal with the superior lubricity of PTFE.

Key Features:

• Low Coefficient of Friction: Excellent for sliding applications, reducing the need for external lubrication.

• Improved Wear Resistance: Outperforms standard acetal in high-load, high-cycle environments.

• Dimensional Stability: Maintains tight tolerances and mechanical integrity over time.

• Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to fuels, solvents, and many chemicals.

• Machinability: Easy to machine with excellent surface finish.

Typical Applications:

• Bushings and bearings

• Gears and wear pads

• Conveyor components

• Sliding parts in food processing and packaging

• Automotive and industrial machinery components

Available Forms:

• Rods

• Sheets

• Tubes

Anti-static Acetal shapes contain an anti-static additive. This modified Acetal produces a defined degree of conductivity in the anti-static range with a surface resistivity 10⁹-10¹¹ Ohm/square. However, the addition of the anti-static agent can compromise the strength and hardness of the material depending on the application. Anti-static Acetal shapes offer good wear resistance, high chemical resistance, and has high toughness and strength.
