TECAFORMT
(Acetal Copolymer)

TECAFORMT is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic offering high strength, stiffness and toughness. TECAFORMT is resistant to hot water, hydrocarbons and solvents, and it possesses good bearing and wear properties. It is available in natural and black grades. TECAFORMT 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
    (TECAFORMT 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

TECAFORMT 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 TECAFORMTs combination of properties. Typical applications are gears, wear strips, bushings, pump parts, fittings and rollers.
