Use them for parts that require precision such as gears bearings and bushings.
Acetal copolymer plastic sheet.
Polyoxymethylene pom also known as acetal polyacetal and polyformaldehyde is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness low friction and excellent dimensional stability as with many other synthetic polymers it is produced by different chemical firms with slightly different formulas and sold variously by such names as delrin kocetal ultraform.
Interstate plastics carries sheet grades of copolymer acetal that are readily machined with standard machining practices.
They resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture so they can be machined to close tolerances.
Acetal copolymer plastic extruded sheet is an easy to machine thermoplastic due to it s stiffness enhanced durability and high strength.
Acetal extruded sheet is ideal for working in wet conditions as it has low moisture absorption and can be heated or cooled without affecting the form or dimensions of the plastic due to it s high heat resistance.
Have machined into fabricated parts.
Any machining tool that is capable of high speed without vibration can be used.

Copolymer acetal sheet has excellent performance in continuous high heat and hot water environments.
Copolymer acetal also tends to have less porosity than homopolymer acetal.
An economical alternative to delrin acetal resin these acetal copolymer sheets and bars offer the same naturally slippery surface and similar wear resistance.
