Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-116 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-116 is a natural-colored acetal (POM) plastic bar cut to 48 inches in length with a 0.5-inch thickness and 1-inch width. Acetal is an engineering-grade thermoplastic known for its high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability, making it a go-to material for machined parts, wear components, and structural plastic fabrication. This bar stock ships in a natural (white/off-white) finish ready for cutting, milling, drilling, or turning. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades use acetal bar stock to manufacture bushings, slides, spacers, guides, and custom fittings.

This acetal bar is suited for light to medium-duty applications where metal replacement with a low-friction, corrosion-resistant material is desired. Common uses include bearing surfaces, valve components, conveyor guides, pump parts, and structural spacers. The rectangular profile and standard 48-inch length make it easy to integrate into standard shop workflows. It is appropriate for both one-off fabrication and small production runs in commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) construction provides high rigidity, low moisture absorption, and excellent machinability
• Natural color indicates unfilled, unmodified resin suitable for general-purpose machining
• Rectangular profile with consistent 0.5-inch thickness and 1-inch width for predictable stock removal
• 48-inch length accommodates most standard part layouts without splicing
• Low friction surface suitable for sliding, wear, and bearing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose acetal bar stock suitable for fabrication of custom components across industrial, mechanical, and trade applications where an engineering thermoplastic with low friction and high dimensional stability is required.

Installation Notes

Acetal bar stock is machined using standard metalworking or woodworking equipment including mills, lathes, band saws, and drill presses. Carbide or high-speed steel tooling is appropriate. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during cutting operations. Follow all applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and dust collection, as plastic chips and dust can be a hazard.
