ACETAL
Rod & Sheet Supplier

Acetal rod and sheet (POM-C / Polyoxymethylene) is the go-to engineering plastic for precision machined components (POM-C / Polyoxymethylene) is the go-to engineering plastic for precision machined components. Dimensionally stable, low friction, easy to machine — it holds tight tolerances consistently and performs reliably from -50°F to 285°F. A direct Delrin alternative with equivalent mechanical performance. Resistant to most solvents, oils, and fuels.

Dynex USA stocks Acetal (Polyoxymethylene) rod and sheet in four grades — natural, black, blue and conductive. Supplying distributors and stockists exclusively across the United States. Same or next-day shipping from our Pennsylvania warehouse, no minimum order.

ACETAL At a Glance

When to Choose ACETAL

Choose Acetal for tight-tolerance precision components requiring dimensional stability and low friction. Gears, bearings, bushings, and food-contact parts in automotive, food processing, and general manufacturing.

Key Advantages of ACETAL

  • High dimensional stability with low creep
  • Low friction for smooth, consistent motion
  • Strong fatigue resistance under repeated load
  • Resistant to oils, fuels, and solvents

ACETAL Applications

  • Gears and gear blanks
  • Bearings and bushings
  • Guide rollers and pulleys
  • Wear pads and slide plates
  • Valve bodies and pump components

ACETAL Grades We Stock

ACETAL NAT

Acetal NAT is the standard Acetal (POM) grade. FDA and USDA approved for direct food contact applications. Natural white colour allows visual inspection and material traceability.

Why Choose ACETAL NAT

  • Ideal for food processing and food-contact components requiring FDA/USDA compliance
  • Suited to medical device components requiring material traceability
  • Best for precision machined parts where visual inspection is required

Unique Features of ACETAL NAT

  • FDA/USDA approved Acetal for direct food contact
  • 9,450 psi tensile strength
  • Low moisture absorption (0.2–0.8%) for dimensional consistency
  • Machines to tight tolerances with superior surface finish

ACETAL BLK

Acetal BLK is an FDA and USDA approved black Acetal (POM) grade. Identical mechanical performance to Acetal NAT with added UV resistance for outdoor and weathering applications.

Why Choose ACETAL BLK

  • Ideal for outdoor or UV-exposed precision components
  • Suited to automotive and industrial mechanical parts
  • Best where weathering resistance is more important than FDA compliance

Unique Features of ACETAL BLK

  • FDA/USDA approved black Acetal
  • 9,450 psi tensile strength
  • UV and weathering resistance for outdoor applications
  • Carbon black pigmentation for UV stability

ACETAL BLUE

Acetal BLUE is an FDA and USDA approved blue Acetal (POM) grade designed for food processing environments where contamination detection is critical. The blue pigmentation makes any Acetal fragments immediately visible during food safety inspection.

Why Choose ACETAL BLUE

  • Ideal for food processing lines where contamination detection is critical
  • Suited to applications where fragment visibility is essential for safety
  • Best for FDA compliant food-contact components requiring colour identification

Unique Features of ACETAL BLUE

  • FDA/USDA approved detectable Acetal for food contact
  • 9,450 psi tensile strength
  • Blue pigmentation makes Acetal fragments immediately visible during inspection
  • Same machinability and dimensional stability as Acetal NAT

ACETAL CNT-R6

Black conductive ACETAL with surface resistivity 10⁶-10⁹Ω. Maintains ACETAL’s precision machining characteristics while providing reliable ESD protection for electronic applications.

Why Choose ACETAL CNT-R6

  • Precision electronic fixtures requiring tight tolerances
  • Semiconductor process equipment needing dimensional stability
  • Applications where both conductivity and machinability are critical
  • Grounding components in precision mechanical assemblies
  • When ACETAL’s dimensional stability is required with electrical conductivity

Unique Features of ACETAL CNT-R6

  • Carbon nanotube technology maintains ACETAL’s precision capabilities
  • Superior conductivity while preserving dimensional stability (8,100 psi tensile strength)
  • Black coloration from carbon nanotube content
  • Excellent machinability for tight-tolerance ESD components
  • Maintains low moisture absorption of standard ACETAL
  • Ideal for precision electronic fixtures requiring grounding
