M101

M101 is a Polyoxymethylene thermoplastic polymer (Acetal). It has gained widespread recognition for its reliability of performance. M101 has high mechanical strength, rigidity, dimensional stability, high impact strength and good abrasion. It is used for wear rings, back up rings, bushings and bearings, and general engineering components with tight tolerances.
 Since Acetal absorbs only minimal amounts of moisture, its physical characteristics will remain constant in a variety of environmental conditions.

Bearings made from Acetal will out perform nylon in conditions of high moisture, including submerged applications. Although this material is attacked by strong acids and bases, it has good resistance to solvents, some other chemicals, mineral oil and water bases hydraulic fluids.
Temperature Range: -58°F to 230°F (-50°C to 110°C)
