TECAFORM®
(Acetal Copolymer)

TECAFORM® is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic offering high strength, stiffness and toughness. TECAFORM® is resistant to hot water, hydrocarbons and solvents, and it possesses good bearing and wear properties. It is available in natural and black grades. TECAFORM® is commonly used as bushings, rollers, wear strips and other applications requiring a combination of strength, low moisture absorption, chemical resistance and dimensional stability.

• No centerline porosity
• Low moisture absorption
• Excellent machinability
• Good combination of mechanical properties
• Chemical resistance to fuels and solvents
  (TECAFORM® is resistant to aqueous solutions with pH values ranging from 4 to 14. )
• Good wear and abrasion properties
• Natural grade is FDA, USDA, NSF and 3A Sanitary compliant
• Good dimensional stability
• Good property retention at elevated temperatures
• Black grade is FDA compliant

TECAFORM® is used in a wide variety of industrial applications requiring good strength and toughness, dimensional stability, wear resistance and the ability to operate in a wet environment with little absorption. Material handling, machinery and fluid handling are some of the common industries utilizing TECAFORM®s combination of properties. Typical applications are gears, wear strips, bushings, pump parts, fittings and rollers.
