Product Description
AH10 is a high molecular weight grade of acetal homopolymer, with a melt viscosity suitable for injection molding applications where superior practical toughness or dynamic fatigue performance is required, or for best packing of heavy wall section components with least sink or tendency to produce voids or porosity. The high melt viscosity of AH10 also makes this grade suitable for extrusion of stock shapes, such as rod and slab, or simple profiles.

Acetal homopolymer is a highly crystalline engineering thermoplastic polymer exhibiting predictable mechanical properties over a wide temperature range and for long time periods. Features include a good combination of high tensile strength and rigidity, resilience and toughness, outstanding dynamic and static fatigue resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. Resistance to the effects of a very wide range of chemicals, oils and solvents and natural lubricity makes acetal homopolymer the material of choice for a wide range of applications in all major end use categories.
