Usa Industrials BULK-PS-ACB-149 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-ACB-149 is a rectangular acetal (POM) plastic bar engineered for industrial and mechanical applications requiring a dense, porosity-free thermoplastic stock material. Measuring 0.5 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 48 inches long, this black acetal bar provides a consistent, machinable base for fabricating bushings, wear pads, slide blocks, spacers, and similar precision components. Acetal offers low moisture absorption, good dimensional stability, and a naturally low coefficient of friction, making it a reliable choice where metal replacement or sliding contact surfaces are required. Installers and fabricators receive one bar per package at a minimum order quantity of one.

This acetal bar is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and OEM fabrication environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in manufacturing, food processing, material handling, and similar industries commonly cut, mill, drill, and turn acetal stock into finished parts. The black color indicates a carbon-filled or standard black-pigmented POM formulation appropriate for general-purpose structural and wear applications. The porosity-free construction reduces the risk of fluid ingestion and supports use in applications where cleanliness and dimensional integrity are critical.

Key Features

• Porosity-free acetal (POM) construction for consistent density throughout the bar
• Rectangular profile simplifies fixturing and secondary machining operations
• Low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability for close-tolerance parts
• Black coloring suitable for general-purpose wear and structural component fabrication
• 48-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple parts per bar
• UNSPSC Code 30265801 for streamlined procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose acetal stock bar for custom fabrication of mechanical components across industrial, OEM, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Acetal bar stock is cut, milled, drilled, or turned to final dimensions using standard metal-working or woodworking machinery with appropriate tooling. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement. Use sharp tooling and moderate feeds to avoid heat buildup, which can cause dimensional distortion in thermoplastic materials. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and proper chip management when machining plastic stock.
