Applications

Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) is very well suited for machining on automatic lathes and is particularly recommended for mechanical precision parts.

Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) C natural (white) / black [POM-C]

This is the Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products' virgin copolymer acetal grade. The acetal copolymer is more resistant against hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal-oxidative degradation than the acetal homopolymer.

Delivery Programme: rod 3 - 320 mm, plate 0.5 - 120 mm, tube 20 - 350 mm

Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) H natural (white) / black [POM-H]

Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) H has higher mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and creep resistance as well as a lower thermal expansion rate and often it also presents a better wear resistance than the acetal copolymer grade.

Delivery Programme: rod 5 - 200 mm, plate 8 - 50 mm

Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) H-TF (deep brown) [POM-H + PTFE]

Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) H-TF is a DELRIN® AF Blend, a combination of TEFLON® fibres evenly dispersed in a DELRIN acetal resin. Much of the strength that is inherent in Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) H is retained. Some properties change due to the addition of TEFLON fibre which is softer, less stiff and slipperier than virgin acetal resin. Compared with Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) C and H, this material offers superior sliding properties. Bearings made of Ertacetal POM (also called Acetron) H-TF show low friction, long wear and are essentially free of stick-slip behaviour.

Delivery Programme: rod 10 - 100 mm, plate 12 - 50 mm
