Ertacetal® C LQ FG (Food Grade) Polyoxymethylene (POM-C)

Ertacetal® C LQ FG (Food Grade) Polyoxymethylene (POM-C) is a white/natural-colored copolymer polyoxymethylene specifically developed for laser writability via IR-YAG and UV-YAG technologies. The Acetal copolymer itself is more resistant to hydrolysis, strong alkalis, and thermal-oxidative degradation than the homopolymer acetal grade, and offers identical physical properties and machinability to the standard Acetron® GP / Ertacetal® C POM-C, including low moisture absorption and porosity-free composition. Due to these characteristics and their compliance  with EU 10/2011 requirements, components made from this material are used frequently for food contact applications.
