Durable 70mm Acetal Round Rod for Low Friction Engineering use

70mm Dia Acetal Round Plastic Rod Machinable Black Copolymer Bar

This acetal round plastic rod is a high-performance engineering solution for projects requiring strength, precision, and stability. Manufactured from extruded Polyoxymethylene Copolymer (Acetal C), this rod delivers exceptional dimensional stability, stiffness, and tensile strength. Its naturally low-friction surface and excellent machinability make it ideal for use in workshops, repair jobs, or custom parts fabrication.

Unlike standard nylons, acetal plastic bars are easier to machine, absorb less moisture, and hold their shape better in damp environments. With improved thermal and hydrolysis resistance over Acetal H and enhanced UV resistance in its sleek finish, this rod is ready for use both indoors and out. At Zalwan Ltd, we supply quality engineering plastics trusted by professionals.

Features:

• 70mm diameter extruded Acetal plastic rod
• Strong, stiff, and easy to machine, ideal for precision
• Available in various lengths 
• Food-compliant, suitable for hygiene-sensitive projects
• A low-friction surface reduces wear in moving parts
• UV-resistant black finish, long-lasting indoors or out
• Excellent dimensional stability and moisture resistance

Applications:

• Seals, spacers, and wear-resistant parts
• Low-friction bearings, impellers, and bushings
• Workshop gears, sliders, and fixings
• Safe for kitchen jigs or steam-cleaned medical tool handles
• Marine or outdoor use thanks to water and UV resistance

FAQs

Q: What is an acetal round rod used for?

A: Acetal round rods are commonly used to make gears, seals, bushings, rollers, spacers, and structural parts because they offer high strength, low friction, and excellent machinability.

Q: Is acetal a good engineering plastic?

A: Yes. Acetal is an excellent engineering plastic rod material, offering high strength, low moisture absorption, good dimensional stability, and easier machining compared with many nylon materials.

Q: Can I use an acetal rod for low-friction parts?

A: Yes. Acetal has a naturally low-friction surface, making it ideal for sliding and moving components such as bearings, impellers, gears, rollers, and guide parts.
