Distributor of Acetal Plastic in Sheet, Rod, Bar and Brushing

Acetal PlasticUNITAL® Acetal (polyoxy-methylene) offers design engineers a superior blend of strength, stiffness, lubricity, and dimensional stability. These properties, along with inherent machining ease, have made UNITAL one of the most widely used engineering grade thermoplastics.

To meet specific application configurations and to maximize production efficiencies, Nytef Plastics offers a broad array of UNITAL Acetal stock shapes. These materials include both homopolymer (DELRIN®) and copolymer unfilled grades as well as PTFE-filled grades for enhanced wear resistance. Nytef also offers an electrically conductive grade of UNITAL Acetal that is used in the micro-electronics industry to dissipate static electric charges.
