Polyacetal rod, Dnipropetrovsk region.

Olyacetal - polymer construction material. It is used in all branches of industry - from mechanical engineering and electronics production to light industry. The physiological harmlessness of polyacetal allows its use in the food and medical industries.
In antifriction and mechanical characteristics, polyacetal is close to kaprolon (polyamide 6 block), but it favorably differs from it in increased impact resistance (especially at negative temperatures), better elastic properties, resistance to the formation of cracks, very low moisture absorption, very good machinability (with the possibility of manufacturing precise parts). Polyacetal has exceptional fatigue resistance (1.5 times higher than that of polyamide 6) and is the optimal material for products subject to repeated mechanical impacts, shock loads, and vibration.
Polyacetal characteristics:
• High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness.
• Very high elasticity, elasticity
• Good resistance to flow (creep)
• High impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
• Good dimensional stability, including at high humidity.
• Good sliding properties and wear resistance.
• Stability of properties in a wide range of temperatures (from -50 to 100 degrees C)
• Excellent workability(//tractor-service.com)
• Insignificant moisture absorption
• Good electrical isolation and dielectric properties.
• Physiological inertness (allowed for contact with food products)
• Non-self-extinguishing
• High resistance of black materials to ultraviolet rays.
• Allows laser marking
• Not resistant to strong acids and oxidants, resistant to organic solvents, fuels of all types.

Fields of application of Polyacetal:
Mechanical engineering, precision instrument making, food industry, automobile industry, electrical engineering, medical industry, textile industry, paper and packaging industry, household appliances, etc. Parts obtained from polyoxymethylene are intended for continuous operation in the temperature range from -50 degrees C to +90 degrees C. They withstand short-term heating up to 140 degrees C.
