Our firm uses a reasonable amount of acetel, machining various shapes from standard bar or sheet stock.

We would like to be able to use a blend that would offer better resistance to combustion caused by electically generated sparks or hot components, while still retaining the easy access to stock shapes and machinability.

Any advances in polymer technology that would fit this need?
