Acetal (POM) Injection Molding
Acetal, or POM, provides excellent strength, stiffness, and creep resistance

Acetal or Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a high-performance thermoplastic well-suited for a wide range of applications due to its wear characteristics. The material offers excellent strength, stiffness, and creep resistance. We offer various grades of acetal for injection molding, including:
- Celcon M90
- 10% Glass Filled Acetal
- 20% Glass Filled Acetal
