ZL ® 900 C Acetal Copolymer

Compliance Info

Slide 1 of 1, currently active

General Info

ZL® 900 C acetal copolymer (POM-C) offers much less centerline porosity compared to that of acetal homopolymer. When compared to acetal homopolymer, acetal copolymer offers superior hot water resistance; more resistance to strong alkalies and thermal-oxidative degradation; improved impact resistance and much lower outgassing.

Key Properties

Lower Centerline Porosity vs. Homopolymer Acetal
Lower Outgassing vs. Homopolymer Acetal
FDA Compliant

Limitations

Wear Resistance in Dry Environments
Lower Temperature Stability (to 180 F)
Poor Resistance to Strong Acids and Alkalies
Formaldehyde Outgassing
Lower Stiffness than Homopolymer Acetal

Applications

Bushings & Bearings
Gears & Sprockets
Manifolds
Pump & Valve Components
Rollers
Wear Strips

ZL® 900 C

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
