Formula: CA
Form: Disk
Material: Cellulose acetate (CA)
CAS Number: 9004-35-7
Commodity: Polymers
Cellulose Acetate disks are a versatile product available in 119 variations that cover a wide range of diameters, thicknesses and tolerances. It is made from cellulose acetate which is a thermoplastic polymer derived from cellulose that exhibits high strength, toughness and optical clarity. Its durability, low cost and ease of fabrication make it ideal for applications ranging from scientific equipment to consumer goods. These disks can be machined, bonded or thermoformed for use as washers, spacers, lenses, windows, and other precision components across industrial, optical, and medical settings. With such a large range of options, Goodfellow's Cellulose Acetate disks enable you to select the optimal configuration for your specific application.
