These compounds are common formulations which provide comparative information on the wear properties of this resin and various combinations of additives.
Instead of off-the-shelf solutions, RTP Company routinely develops specialty compounds with a precise combination of properties such as conductivity, flame retardance, structural reinforcement, color, and wear resistance to meet your exact application requirements.

RTP 800 Series Acetal Compounds
Advantages
Resistance to creep and fatigue
Rigidity and resilience
Resistance to solvents
Limitations
High specific gravity
Anisotropic shrinkage
Processing difficulties
Acetals are rigid, creep resistant and strong. They possess low coefficients of friction. They remain stable in high temperature service and offer exceptional resistance to hot water environments.
They are virtually unaffected by strong bases but are attacked by strong mineral acids.
A 40% glass reinforced acetal has a flexural modulus of 1.6 psi x 10E-6 (11024 MPa) and 330 degrees F (166 degrees C) heat deflection temperature.
