Acetal Rod - Glass Filled

Acetal rod - glass filled is a strong, rigid plastic with excellent impact and mechanical strength. The incorporation of powdered glass fibres at the manufacturing stage helps to substantially increase the material's stiffness and tensile strength in comparison to standard acetal rod. It also has a lower thermal expansion rate, meaning it will be less likely to move in its application as the temperature increases and decreases.
