OVERVIEW of 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.
