Looking to glue Acetal plastic?

Acetal….which is chemically known as Polyoxymethylene (POM), is a semi-crystalline copolymer plastic. First developed in the mid 1950’s, Acetal plastic is extremely stiff and dimensionally stable. It has very low water absorbance, abrasion resistance and very high electrical resistance.

The high rigidity and surface hardness of Acetal plastic , enables it to be machined into a variety of forms, including rods, gears, rollers and a variety of bearing types. Machined component parts display a perfectly smooth finish and they find very extensive use in the automotive sector. Since Acetal plastic is food safe and can be steam cleaned.
