Description
This Blue Acetal Rod is made from Polyoxymethylene Copolymer, known for its high stiffness and surface hardness. Ideal for food-related applications.
Material Properties
The Blue Acetal Rod is crafted from Polyoxymethylene Copolymer, offering superior stiffness, tensile strength, and surface hardness. It exhibits excellent resistance to hydrolysis, strong alkalis, and thermal-oxidative degradation, making it suitable for various demanding environments.
Machining Advantages
Acetal Rod is renowned for its ease of machining, outperforming all Nylons. It chips during machining rather than creating continuous swarf, allowing for a high-quality finish with minimal visible marks. Additionally, it requires less de-burring, saving time and reducing production costs.
Food Safety Compliance
This material is food compliant, making it an excellent choice for applications involving food. Its low moisture absorption minimizes bacteria retention, ensuring safety in food-related uses. The blue color helps in easily spotting any debris during inspections.
Applications
The Blue Acetal Rod is versatile, suitable for a range of applications including seals, gears, marine components, insulators, medical instrument handles, steam cleaning, bearings, and impellers.
