It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA), while maintaining the excellent wear, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability of acetal (POM).
If the material is allowed to stay in an injection molding machine or extruder (profile, sheet, etc.) too long, the material will start to discolor and brown ‘freckles’ may appear.
Are UV protection and/or flame retardant packages available?

Ejector Pin Design Guidelines When designing ejector pins, the following guidelines should be used, which can be seen in figure 42.
If the material is shear-sensitive, consult the material data sheet or processing guide for instructions to set recovery time • The cooling time should only be 1–2 seconds longer than the screw recovery time, unless dictated by dimensional stability or part thickness Minimize Clamp Pressure This step is done to reduce the amount of energy used by the machine. • Reduce the clamp tonnage until flash is seen around the parting line, then increase the clamp tonnage by 5-10% Minimize Cycle Time • Mold Open/Close – Should be as fast as possible, without slamming, and still produce a nice fluid motion • Ejector Speed – As fast as possible, without influencing part quality • Ejector Stroke – Only stroke the ejectors as many times as needed to separate the part from the core - i.e.
Note: Once the process has been established, the parts should be tested for dimensional stability over the range of service termperatures.

These grades combine excellent chemical resistance and dimensional stability with improved wear resistance and low coefficient of friction (COF) properties.
The formulations can also be customized to meet specific application needs, such as improved UV stability.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Inherently low COF • Excellent wear resistance • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Excellent dimensional stability • Cost-effective • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66, PA6 and POM MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These materials are ideal for use in applications requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).
