Acetron™ GP FG/Ertacetal™ C FG POM-C
Copolymer PolyoxymethyleneAcetron™ GP FG POM-C/Ertacetal™ C FG POM-C (Food Grade) is a general purpose polyoxymethylene, copolymer acetal grade that is favored for its porosity free nature, as well as its higher resistance to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal oxidative degradation than homopolymer acetal grades. These food grade, POM-C shapes also offer low moisture absorption and excellent machinability capabilities, making it a very versatile material that can excel in a multitude of environments. Due to these characteristics and their compliance with compositional FDA 21 CFR § 177.2470 and EU 10/2011 requirements, components made from this material are used frequently for food contact applications.
