Sustarin® C MDT acetal copolymer is an engineering plastic that provides all of the physical properties of acetal, can be sensed by metal detectors, and best of all is FDA compliant.

Sustarin® C MDT is a solution to many food processing and packaging applications. It has special additives that allow it to be traced by standard metal detectors and removed before causing further contamination. The most important mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties remain unchanged in comparison to standard acetal. Sustarin® C MDT is easily machined and has excellent dimensional stability for close tolerance parts.

Sustarin® C MDT complies with FDA regulations concerning direct contact with food.
