Acetal resins

Acetal resins

Acetal resins are highly valuable materials in the industry due to their unique combination of properties. From automotive to electronics and consumer, their high rigidity, low friction and dimensional stability make them a preferred choice for components requiring precision and durability. Its versatility and performance justify its use in numerous advanced engineering applications.

What are acetal resins?

Acetal resins are thermoplastic polymers obtained from the polymerization of formaldehyde. This process produces a material that combines strength and hardness, making it comparable to light metals in certain applications.

Highlighted properties/advantages

High rigidity and mechanical resistance: they offer great tensile and compression resistance, which makes them ideal for parts that must support high loads.

Low friction and wear: They have a low coefficient of friction, making them an excellent choice for moving components such as gears and bearings.

Dimensional stability: they maintain their dimensions and shape under different temperature and humidity conditions.

Chemical resistance: They are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including solvents, oils and fuels.

Good processability: they can be molded and machined with relative ease, allowing great flexibility in the design and manufacturing of parts.

Common uses

Automotive: used in the manufacture of components such as gears, bearings, clips and pump casings.

Electronics: used in connectors, switches and other parts that require dimensional stability and wear resistance.

Industrial: they are common in the manufacture of machinery parts, such as gears, bearings and sliding components.

Consumption: they are used in the production of household items, such as zippers, buckles, and kitchen tools.

Key benefits of acetal resins

Durability: the combination of high strength and low friction ensures a long useful life of parts made with acetal resins.

Versatility: their ability to be processed in various ways and their resistance to numerous chemical agents make them extremely versatile.

Precision: dimensional stability ensures that parts maintain their exact measurements, crucial for applications requiring high precision. fillers and other materials allows the improvement of physical properties according to specific needs.
