This technical plastic is also a thermoplastic. Due to their both belonging to one family, polyamide and polyacetals have only minor differences in properties. Polyacetal is also extremely resistant to mechanical effects and just as impact and abrasion resistant as polyamide. Furthermore, it is also largely resistant to bases and acids, and also repels water, bacteria and fungi.
The main use of this plastic is in the automobile industry, where it is used for switches and housings, insulation and pipes. The material is also used for manufacturing pipes, pinions and gears. |
