We require a machinable plastic that is stiff, does not deform on machining, provides a good finish (suitable for seal seats), is not affected by water and can be bonded to. Acetal is reasonable apart from the last requirement.

I suggest you try PPO/polystyrene (Noryl), ABS, PVC or polycarbonate. Best regards, Paul Anderson Consultant Pera Pera Innovation Park Melton Mowbray Leicestershire LE13 0PB UK Tel: + 44 (0) 1664 501 501 Fax: + 44 (0) 1664 501 556 Email: paul.anderson@pera.com Website: www.pera.com
