Ensinger Tecaform™ Acetal Copolymer - Extruded Products (POM)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acetal (Polyoxymethylene, POM)

Material Notes: Tecaform™ is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic offering high strength, stiffness and toughness. It is resistant to hot water, hydrocarbons and solvents, and it posses good bearing and wear properties available in natural and black grades, it is commonly used as bushings, rollers, wear strips and other applications requiring its 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
  • Good wear and abrasion properties
  • Natural grade is manufactured from resins that are FDA, USDA, NSF and 3A Sanitary compliant
  • Good dimensional stability
  • Good property retention at elevated temperatures
  • Black grades are also manufactured from resin that 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.
