Product Description
AH50 is an acetal homopolymer, with a melt viscosity suitable for general purpose injection molding applications; it is internally lubricated for ease of mold release

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.
