Usa Industrials BULK-PS-ACB-182 Acetal Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-ACB-182 is a black acetal (POM) plastic bar stock cut to 48 inches in length with a rectangular cross-section measuring 2 inches wide by 0.5 inches thick. Acetal is a high-density engineering thermoplastic known for its dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and machinability. This bar is manufactured porosity-free, making it suitable for applications where consistent material density matters. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use acetal bar stock for bushings, wear pads, slide rails, spacers, and custom mechanical components in light industrial and OEM production environments.

This acetal bar is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, conveyor systems, food-processing equipment, and general industrial fabrication where a machinable, low-friction plastic is required. Its porosity-free construction makes it a reliable choice for fluid-handling components and precision-machined parts. The rectangular profile is ready for sawing, drilling, milling, or turning on standard shop equipment without special tooling.

Key Features

• Porosity-free acetal (POM) construction for consistent density throughout the bar
• 48-inch length provides full-length bar stock for custom fabrication or multiple part runs
• Rectangular profile at 2 inches wide by 0.5 inches thick for straightforward fixturing
• Black color for UV resistance and visual contrast in assembled components
• Machines cleanly with standard metalworking or woodworking equipment
• Low moisture absorption maintains dimensional accuracy in humid or wet environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose engineering plastic bar stock suitable for custom fabrication of mechanical components, wear parts, and structural inserts across light industrial, OEM, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining acetal bar stock is typically performed by machinists or fabricators using standard mill, lathe, or band saw equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement and ensure clean cuts. Acetal generates fine chips and dust during machining; use appropriate respiratory protection and follow shop safety guidelines. Finished parts should be deburred before assembly into mating components.
