Quadrant EPP Acetal Copolymer
Acetron® GP is Mitsubishi's general-purpose copolymer acetal and is the only porosity-free acetal product available today. Investments in process technology by Mitsubishi now provide the performance and machinability of acetal without center core porosity. Their in-line photometric quality procedure assures every plate and rod is porosity-free as measured by Mitsubishi's dye penetrant test making it the preferred acetal for food contact and medical applications. This material is also known as Ertacetal® C POM-C. It is available in natural and black and both are FDA compliant.
Acetron® GP natural is FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy compliant.
Alro Plastics is your source for Quadrant's new FDA compliant Acetron® GP colors. All sizes are available with small minimums and quick turnaround. Contact your Alro Plastics Sales Representative for price, delivery, or sample information.
Acetron® materials including Acetron® GP are formerly known as a Quadrant Engineering Plastics material.
