Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-180 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-180 is a rectangular acetal (POM) plastic bar stock sized at 0.25 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 48 inches long in a natural color finish. Acetal is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its low friction coefficient, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture, solvents, and wear. This bar stock is a standard raw material used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need to cut, mill, or lathe custom components. It suits applications where metal would corrode or where reduced weight and non-conductivity are required.

This acetal bar is suited for light industrial and mechanical fabrication work in both shop and field environments. Common uses include bushings, wear pads, slide blocks, spacers, and custom-machined components in food processing equipment, pneumatic systems, and general mechanical assemblies. Its natural color indicates an unmodified, unfilled POM grade appropriate for general-purpose machining applications where FDA-compliance or specialty additives are not specified by the input data.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) material provides low friction and high wear resistance for machined components
• Rectangular bar shape allows straightforward setup on mills, lathes, and saws
• Natural color indicates standard, unfilled POM grade
• 48-inch length provides flexibility for multiple cut parts from a single bar
• Moisture and solvent resistance supports use in wet or chemically exposed environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw material bar stock suitable for machining into custom components across light industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of acetal bar stock is typically performed by machinists or qualified fabricators using standard woodworking or metalworking tools including band saws, table saws, mills, and lathes. Secure the bar firmly before cutting to prevent movement. Acetal produces fine chips during machining; eye protection and appropriate ventilation are recommended. Edges and cut faces may require deburring before the finished part is installed in service.
