Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are committed to providing quality products at competitive prices, and with full-service warehouses in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton, we will get products to you quickly, wherever you happen to be.

Acetal Sheets Product Line 

We distribute acetal sheets in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. Acetal is a strong, stiff and tough plastic that absorbs minimum amounts of moisture, and in humid environments, outperforms nylon four to one. Acetal has a good resistance to organic solvents, but not to strong acids and bases. Acetal has a low-coefficient of friction and good bearing characteristics. It also has high dielectric strength and can be used in many electrical applications. Acetal products can be used in continuous temperatures of up to 82ºC and in intermittent temperatures of up to 93ºC. Most acetals are produced from resin that is FDA-approved for contact with food.

Acetal Sheets Industrial Applications

Customers have used our acetal sheets to manufacture bearings, gears, screw machine parts, machine fittings, electrical components, low-friction components and more. Our customers work in a variety of industries, including the automotive, chemical, tooling, and food and beverage industries.

Our Montreal and Toronto facilities are registered to ISO 9001:2008 and we are committed to constantly improve the quality of our products and customer service.
