Acetron®Food Grade Blue 50 POM-C

Acetron® Food Grade Blue 50 POM-C is compliant in both Europe and North America, which is one of the key competitive advantages that it offers to the Food Processing industry. For companies that are exporting, this is critical as they will now only need one material to meet the demands and requirements of both EU and NA. Blue in color for visual detection, increased food product safety, and proactive contamination prevention, Acetron® Food Grade Blue 50 POM-C is the most recent addition to Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials' Dual Compliant offerings (FDA and EU Food Grade).

Acetals

Acetal provides high strength and stiffness coupled with enhanced dimensional stability and ease of machining. As a semi-crystalline material, acetal is also characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good wear properties -- especially in wet environments.

Because acetal absorbs minimal amounts of moisture, its physical properties remain constant in a variety of environments. Low moisture absorption results in excellent dimensional stability for close-tolerance machined parts. In high moisture or submerged applications, acetal bearings outperform nylon 4 to 1. Acetal is ideally suited for close tolerance mechanical parts and electrical insulators which require strength and stiffness. It also offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals including many solvents.

Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials offers both homopolymer and copolymer grades of acetal including enhanced bearing grade materials. Acetron® GP acetal is porosity-free and offered as our standard general purpose grade. For slightly higher mechanical properties, we offer a broad size range of the homopolymer acetal (Delrin®) products. For improved frictional properties PTFE-enhanced Delrin AF products are available.
