Ertacetal® C is Quadrant’s copolymer acetal grade. Next to the standard natural and black grades, there is also a series of special colours available all showing an FDA food contact compliant composition. The acetal copolymer is more resistant against hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal oxidative degradation than the acetal homopolymer.
Ertacetal® H is Quadrant’s homopolymer acetal grade. It offers a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and creep resistance as well as a lower thermal expansion rate and often also a better wear resistance than the acetal copolymer.
