Product Description
AH50P is an acetal homopolymer, with a viscosity suitable for general-purpose injection molding applications; it is formulated to offer improved melt stability, and 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. A combination of high tensile strength and rigidity, resilience and toughness, outstanding dynamic and static fatigue resistance, excellent dimensional stability, resistance to the effects of a 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.
