Black Copolymer Acetal
The black copolymer acetal you asked about is a type of POM (Polyoxymethylene) copolymer, produced by DuPont. It shares similar properties with standard POM but with enhanced chemical resistance and toughness. Widely used for precision mechanical parts and engineering applications.
Black Copolymer Acetal, also known as POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer), is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic developed to deliver excellent dimensional stability, wear resistance, and enhanced chemical resistance compared to standard homopolymer acetal. Produced by leading manufacturers such as DuPont, this material is widely recognized for its low friction, high toughness, and durability under demanding conditions.
Unlike acetal homopolymer, copolymer acetal provides greater resistance to hot water, solvents, and alkalis, making it more reliable for applications in harsh chemical environments. Its black coloration not only offers aesthetic advantages but also provides UV protection, extending outdoor usability.
At GD Prototyping, we supply premium-grade Black Copolymer Acetal for applications where strength, stability, and long service life are essential. Commonly used in precision gears, bearings, bushings, automotive parts, and industrial machinery, this material ensures consistent performance in both dynamic and static engineering environments.
