![Acetron® GP FDA Colors]( "Acetron® GP FDA Colors")
Acetron® GP FDA Colors
Acetron® GP FDA Colors is a new FDA-Compliant Colored Acetal. Improved process technology now allows MCAM-Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products to offer seven standard FDA-compliant colors of Acetron® GP acetal rod in small quantities and drastically-reduced lead times.
The new capability in colored stock shapes for machining overcomes the historical two to three months' lead time and high minimum order volume requirements due to resin and shapes production limitations. All of the new Acetron® GP colors meet the requirements of FDA Regulation 21 CFR, Section 177.2470 (e)(1),(2).
The colors are ideal where change-out parts need to be quickly and easily identified for use on specific processes.
MCAM-Quadrant's Acetron® GP, in red, blue, green, yellow, orange, gray and brown, is available within 3-4 weeks from date of order, in quantities of about 200 lbs per size and color, depending on diameter. Sample discs are available for specification purposes.
The colors are strictly intended for industrial, pharmaceutical and food-related applications, and are not suitable for medical orthopedic use, at this time.
This standard set of colors gives engineers access to Acetron GP 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.

![Semitron® ESd Overview]( "Semitron® ESd Overview")
Semitron® ESd Overview
The Semitron® ESd family of static dissipative products was designed by MCAM-Quadrant for use where electrical discharge in operation is a problem. They are commonly used for sensitive electronic components including: integrated circuits, hard disk drives and circuit boards. Semitron products are also an excellent choice for material handling applications, and components in high speed electronic printing and reproducing equipment.
Semitron® ESd products are inherently dissipative and electrically stable unlike many other "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.
