MAGNETHANE™ - A is an FDA approved blue Acetal Copolymer plastic (DELRIN) that is specially compounded with the same magnetic signature properties as the polyurethane version of MAGNETHANE™. This material is a highly wear resistant co-polymer, used in food processing and packaging machinery. It is easily machined and has excellent dimensional stability for parts requiring close tolerances and mating surfaces.
The magnetic signature of this plastic, will allow it to be “seen” by most metal detection and X-Ray devices used on packaging and production lines. The mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties remain unchanged in comparison to standard acetal plastics.
Typical Applications include:
Wear Strips * Bushings * Bearings * Guides
Scraper Blades * Pillow Blocks * Slide Gates * Rollers
MAGNETHANE™ - A is available in flat stock and round stock.
The information contained herein are typical values intended for reference and comparison purposes only. They should NOT be used as a basis for design specifications or quality control. Contact us for manufacturers' complete material property datasheets. All values at 73°F (23°C) unless otherwise noted. DELRIN is a registered trademark of DuPont.
