![Acetal Resin]( "Acetal Resin")
Acetal Resin
Acetal is a thermoplastic resin commonly used for injection molding applications. Acetal resins, or technically called polyoxymethylenes (POM), are among the strongest and stiffest of thermoplastics. Acetal copolymers are well known for their fatigue and wear resistance as well as high chemical resistance and dimensional stability.
Acetal resins provide an outstanding consistency of properties and color. They have exceptional solvent resistance, and are virtually unaffected by strong bases. Acetals are rigid, creep resistant and strong. They possess low coefficients of friction, and remain stable at high temperatures, even for extended use.
Types of Acetal Resin:
- Acetal 9 Melt Copolymer (M90 Type) - Natural - Direct equivalent to Ticona Celon* M90 Natural
- Acetal 9 Melt Copolymer (M90 Type) - Black - Direct equivalent to Ticona Celcon* M90 Black
- Acetal Homopolymer, 15 Melt, (500P Type) - Natural - Direct equivalent to Dupont Delrin* 500P Natural
- Acetal Homopolymer, 15 Melt, (500P Type) - Black - Direct equivalent to Dupont Delrin* 500P Black

![Acetal Rod - Colors FDA (Food Grade)]( "Acetal Rod - Colors FDA (Food Grade)")
Acetal Rod - Colors FDA (Food Grade)
Acetal Rod - Colors FDA (Food Grade) - FDA-Compliant Colored Acetal Rods from Professional Plastics are available in seven standard FDA-compliant colors. These colored acetal Rods meet the requirements of FDA Regulation 21 CFR, Section 177.2470 (e)(1),(2). Colored acetal is ideal for change-out parts that need to be quickly and easily identified for use on specific processes. Available in Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Gray and Brown. This standard set of colors gives engineers access to acetal's porosity-free, low stress and cost-effective performance in machined parts, while adding increased functionality to their end product. The breakthrough is our ability to compress the time and volume formerly necessary for colors from the resin supplier and in our own shapes production.
FDA (Food Grade) colored rods are strictly intended for industrial, pharmaceutical and food-related applications, NOT Suitable for Medical Orthopedic Use.
For Medical Applications, Use Sustarin C Medical Grade Acetal Rods

Acetal SD - static-dissipative
Acetal SD (aka POM SD, ESd Acetal) products are inherently dissipative and electrically stable unlike many other static"dissipative" plastic shapes. They do not rely on atmospheric phenomena to activate, nor are surface treatments used to achieve dissipation. Static electricity is dissipated through these products as readily as it is dissipated along the surface. All of these products dissipate 5 KV in less than 2 seconds per Mil-B-81705C. Acetal SD (ESd) is ideal for fixturing used in the manufacturing of hard disk drives or for handling in-process silicon wafers. POM SD - ESd Acetal is stocked at Professional Plastics locations in the USA, Singapore & Taiwan.

![Sustarin® C MDT - detectable acetal]( "Sustarin® C MDT - detectable acetal")
Sustarin® C MDT - detectable acetal
SUSTARIN® C MDT - metal detectable acetal for the food & packaging industries.
Finally, an engineering plastic is available that provides all of the physical
properties of acetal, can be sensed by metal detectors and best of all it is FDA
compliant.
SUSTARIN® C MDT is a solution to many food processing and packaging applications. Most of the food products that we consume every day come into contact with different machines during the
manufacturing and packaging processes. If just a small part or component from
any one of those machines finds its way into the food there can be serious health
risks.
SUSTARIN® C MDT has special additives that allow it to be traced by standard
metal detectors and removed before causing further contamination. Quality
assurance engineers at some of the largest food processing manufacturers in the
country have already tested this product and found it to be highly effective.
The important mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties remain
unchanged in comparison to standard acetal. This engineering plastic is easily
machined and has excellent dimensional stability for close tolerance parts.
SUSTARIN® C MDT complies with FDA regulations concerning direct contact
with food and is offered in rods from 1/4" to 8" diameter and sheets from 3/8" to
4" thick in a brilliant blue color.
