Durable Acetal Rods for Industrial Use – Trusted by UK Engineers
Acetal rods have become a staple in UK industries that rely on precision, durability, and performance. Whether you're machining components for conveyor systems, engineering sliding parts, or producing custom plastic fittings, these rods offer the strength and dimensional stability professionals count on. At every stage of fabrication, Acetal (also known as POM or Delrin) behaves predictably and precisely, giving engineers the confidence to produce with tight tolerances and minimal waste.
What truly sets Acetal apart is its low friction and high wear resistance. These properties make it ideal for parts that experience constant motion or contact think gears, rollers, bearings, and guide rails. Unlike many plastics, Acetal resists water absorption, ensuring reliable operation even in humid or damp environments. It's also chemically resistant, making it a smart choice in food processing, medical, and automotive settings where hygiene and exposure to solvents matter. And because it's available in both copolymer and homopolymer grades, there's flexibility to match your needs with the right material spec.
Every Acetal rod we stock is manufactured to high standards and offers excellent machinability with minimal chipping or distortion. Choose from a variety of diameters and lengths to suit your next project, whether it's a prototype or full-scale production. We offer both black and white Acetal rods at M Industrial Safety, giving you options for colour coding, aesthetics, or specific industry compliance.
