Challenges with Acetal (Polyoxymethylene)
Acetal (Polyoxymethylene) is a type of thermoplastic with rigid properties, excellent moisture resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. It’s commonly used across industries as a metal substitute due to its lightweight nature, low cost, and good structural integrity.
There are two basic types of acetal plastic: Acetal Copolymer (Celcon®) and Acetal Homopolymer (Delrin®). Acetal Homopolymer offers high impact resistance, stiffness, and resistance to deformation. Acetal Copolymer provides excellent moisture and chemical resistance.
Acetal plastic can be found in various industries including transportation, electronics, medical, and beyond. Typical applications include:
- Automotive switches.
- Conveyor rollers.
- Pumps & valves.
- Bushings.
- Gears, electrical components.
- Plastic bearings.
- Agricultural machinery.
- Transfer components.
- Fuel filters.
- Insulating materials.
Key characteristics of Acetal:
- Surface energy: 36mJ/m².
- Maximum service temperature: 100°C.
- Melting temperature: 160°C.
Due to the low surface energy (LSE) properties and applications of Acetal plastic, challenges in bonding Polyoxymethylene plastic include:
- Establishing durable, long-lasting, and reliable bonds.
- High aesthetics.
- High design flexibility.
- Excellent resistance to moisture, water, heat, and chemicals.
- Good impact resistance, deformation resistance, and wear resistance.
- Finished products after bonding must be lightweight.
- Safety, no harmful substances (for medical applications).
