Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-248 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-248 is a natural-color acetal (POM) plastic bar cut to 48 inches in length with a rectangular cross-section measuring 3 inches wide by 0.5 inches thick. Acetal is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic known for low moisture absorption, high stiffness, and excellent dimensional stability, making it a practical raw material for machined components. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this bar stock to manufacture bushings, spacers, guide rails, wear pads, and structural inserts where metal replacement or non-conductive properties are required. The bar weighs 3.86 pounds and ships as a single piece.

This acetal bar stock is suited for light industrial and mechanical fabrication applications in both commercial and residential maintenance environments. Common uses include CNC-machined or manually cut parts for conveyor systems, pump components, jigs, fixtures, and low-friction sliding assemblies. Its natural color indicates an unmodified, unfilled POM resin, which performs well in applications requiring food-grade material contact compliance or clean-room use where colorants are undesirable. No secondary finishing is required before machining.

Key Features

• Acetal (POM) material provides low friction, high stiffness, and strong dimensional stability
• Natural color indicates unfilled, unmodified POM resin suitable for food-contact and clean-room consideration
• Rectangular bar shape ready for sawing, milling, drilling, or turning without pre-treatment
• 48-inch length provides ample stock for multiple parts from a single bar
• Low moisture absorption helps maintain tight tolerances in humid service environments

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose acetal bar stock for fabrication and replacement part machining across industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications where a 0.5-inch thick rectangular POM bar is specified.

Installation Notes

Fabrication and installation of machined acetal components is typically performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or industrial mechanics. Standard woodworking or metalworking tools including band saws, mills, and drill presses cut acetal cleanly at moderate speeds. Avoid excessive heat buildup during cutting or machining, as prolonged high temperatures can degrade the material surface. Consult applicable facility or equipment specifications before using acetal parts in pressurized, elevated-temperature, or chemically aggressive service environments.
