Ensinger Tecaform™ UD Blue Ultra Detectable Acetal Copolymer (POM)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acetal (Polyoxymethylene, POM)

Material Notes: TECAFORM® UD Blue is an Ultra Detectable acetal copolymer designed specifically for applications in the food industry. High speed food production lines detect particulate matter in the food product one of three ways; Using optical scanners, metal detection equipment, or X-ray equipment. TECAFORM® UD Blue is the first engineering thermoplastic that will show up regardless of the scanning method used.

Features:

  • Food contact blue in color
  • High visibility of filler
  • Detectable by X-ray or metal detection equipment
  • Plastic chunks as small as 3mm thick detected using standard metal detection equipment
  • Plastic shavings to 1mm thick detected using standard metal detection equipment
  • Easily machined
