Material Data Sheet
Material: Acetron GP
PolyoxymethleneAcetron GP is Quadrant's general purpose copolymer acetal and is the only porosity-free product available today. Investments in process technology by Quadrant now provide the performance and machinability of acetal without center core porosity. Our in-line photometric quality procedure assures every plate and rod is porosity-free making it the preferred acetal for food contact and medical applications. Acetron GP natural and black are FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy Compliant.
