Description
This Blue Acetal Rod is a durable and food-compliant material ideal for various applications. It offers excellent machining properties and low moisture absorption.
Material Properties
The Blue Acetal Rod is made from Polyoxymethylene Copolymer, which provides high stiffness, tensile strength, and surface hardness. It is more resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkalis, and thermal-oxidative degradation compared to other variants.
Machining Advantages
Acetal Rod is highly regarded for its machining capabilities, allowing for easy processing without creating excessive swarf. It can be machined to a superior surface finish with minimal visible marks, making it suitable for precision applications.
Food Compliance and Safety
This material is food compliant, making it safe for applications involving food. Its low moisture absorption prevents bacteria growth, and the blue color allows for easy visual inspection of any damaged components.
Applications
Common applications for the Blue Acetal Rod include seals, gears, marine components, insulators, medical instrument handles, steam cleaning, bearings, and impellers.
