Acetal is a semicristalline polyacetal-copolymner which is used for anti-extrusion rings, guide ring bushes, scrapers, and for precision-machined parts with thight tolerances. Acetal is one of the most important engineering thermoplastics with good physical properties, low water absorption and good chemical resistance. Acetal can be used in mineral oils, in water-based fire-resistant hydraulics fluids (HFA, HFB and HFC fluids), concentrated acids and bases will attack and destroy it.

Subject: [PipingDesign] Valve seat / seal material

Can anyone give me an idea (details if possible) for 'POM' soft seat material used in ball valves? I have this material listed by a vendor from Denmark. It would be of very great help if somebody can provide me with catalogue information in this regard.

Thanks in advance.
