Acetron $ ^{\textcircled{R}} $ C Sterra $ ^{ \mathrm{T M}} $ POM-C

Polyoxymethylene

Acetron $ ^{\mathrm{R}} $ C Sterra $ ^{\mathrm{TM}} $ Polyoxymethylene POM-C is a general purpose, copolymer acetal grade that is often favored for its porosity free nature. Acetron $ ^{\mathrm{R}} $ C Sterra $ ^{\mathrm{TM}} $ POM-C shapes also offer low moisture and excellent machinability capabilities, making it a very versatile material that can excel in a multitude of environments. As part of the Sterra $ ^{\mathrm{TM}} $ product portfolio, this material contains recycled content and exhibits a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to similar materials derived from non-recycled feedstocks. For details, please refer to the respective environmental data sheet.

Note: 1 g/cm³ = 1,000 kg/m³ ; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm² ; 1 kV/mm = 1 MV/m

NYP: there is no yield point

This table, mainly to be used for comparison purposes, is a valuable help in the choice of a material. The data listed here fall within the normal range of product properties of dry material. However, they are not guaranteed and they should not be used to establish material specification limits nor used alone as the basis of design. See the remaining notes on the next page.

-1 The figures given for these properties are for the most part derived from raw material supplier data and other publications.

-2 Values for this property are only given here for amorphous materials and for materials that do not show a melting temperature (PBI, PAI & PI). DMA settings, oscillation amplitude of 0.20 mm; a frequency of 1 Hz; heating rate of $ 2^{C}/C/min $.

-3 Temperature resistance over a period of min. 20,000 hours. After this period of time, there is a decrease in tensile strength - measured at $ 2 3 C $ （ $ 7 3^{F} $ ）of about 50% as compared with the original value. The temperature value given here is thus based on the thermal-oxidative degradation which takes place and causes a reduction in properties. Note, however, that the maximum allowable service temperature depends in many cases essentially on the duration and the magnitude of the mechanical stresses to which the material is subjected.

-4 Impact strength decreasing with decreasing temperature, the minimum allowable service temperature is practically mainly determined by the extent to which the material is subjected to impact. The value given here is based on unfavourable impact conditions and may consequently not be considered as being the absolute practical limit.

-5 These estimated ratings, derived from raw material supplier data and other publications, are not intended to reflect hazards presented by the material under actual fire conditions. There is no 'UL File Number' available for these stock shapes.

-6 Most of the figures given for the mechanical properties are average values of tests run on dry test specimens machined out of rods 40-50 mm (1.5 - 2" ) when available, else out of plate 10-20mm (0.4 - 0.8"). All tests are done at room temperature $ \left( 23^{\circ}\mathrm{F} \right) / \left( 73^{\circ}\mathrm{F} \right) $.

-7 Test speed: either 5 mm/min or 50 mm/min [chosen acc. to ISO 10350-1 as a function of the ductile behaviour of the material (tough or brittle)] using type 1B tensile bars.

-8 Test speed: either 0.2"/min or 2"/min or [chosen as a function of the ductile behavior of the material (brittle or tough)] using Type 1 tensile bars.

-9 Test speed: 1 mm/min, using type 1B tensile bars.

-10 Test specimens: cylinders $ \varnothing $ 8 mm x 16 mm, test speed 1 mm/min.

-11 Test specimens: cylinders $ \varnothing $ 8 mm x 16 mm, test speed 1 mm/min.

-13 Test specimens: bars 0.25" (thickness) x 0.5" x 5"; test speed: 0.11"/min; span: 4".

-14 Measured on 10 mm, 0.4" thick test specimens.

-15 Electrode configuration: $ \varnothing 25 / \varnothing 75 $ mm coaxial cylinders; in transformer oil according to IEC 60296; 1 mm thick test specimens.

-19 Test using journal bearing system, 200 hrs, 118 ft/min, 42 PSI, steel shaft roughness $ 16\pm2 $ RMS micro inches with Hardness Brinell of 180-200.

This product data sheet and any data and specifications presented on our website shall provide promotional and general information about the Engineering Plastic Products (the "Products") manufactured and offered by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials and shall serve as a preliminary guide. All data and descriptions relating to the Products are of an indicative nature only. Neither this data sheet nor any data and specifications presented on our website shall create or be implied to create any legal or contractual obligation.

Any illustration of the possible fields of application of the Products shall merely demonstrate the potential of these Products, but any such description does not constitute any kind of covenant whatsoever. Irrespective of any tests that Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials may have carried out with respect to any Product, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials does not possess expertise in evaluating the suitability of its materials or Products for use in specific applications or products manufactured and offered by the customer respectively. The choice of the most suitable plastics material depends on available chemical resistance data and practical experience, but often preliminary testing of the finished plastics part under actual service conditions (right chemical, concentration, temperature and contact time, as well as other conditions) is required to assess its final suitability for the given application.

It thus remains the customer's sole responsibility to test and assess the suitability and compatibility of Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials' Products for its intended applications, processes and uses, and to choose those Products which according to its assessment meet the requirements applicable to the specific use of the finished product. The customer undertakes all liability in respect of the application, processing or use of the aforementioned information or product, or any consequence thereof, and shall verify its quality and other properties.
