Acetal (POM) Ultraform

Nomenclature

Ultraform grades are identified by letters and numbers.

1st character (letter)
Flowability
E = lowest flow rate = lowest melt index
Z = highest flow rate = highest melt index

2nd - 5th character (digits)
Numbers to characterize the composition of the polymer.

6th character
An "X" here denotes a "development product".

7th character
Type of filler, impact modifier or additive
G = glass fibers
M = mineral
U = UV-stabilized
Z = impact-modified with thermoplastic polyurethane

8th character (digit)
Concentration of the fillers or impact modifiers defined by the 7th character; the higher the digit (1-9), the higher the content.

9th and 10th characters (digits)
Further product modification or additive.


Example 1
N = flowability
2320 = rapidly solidifying standard product
003 = mold release agent

Example 2
Ultraform N2200 G53
N = flowability
2200 = product composition
G = glass fibers
5 = approx. 25% of glass fibers
3 = mold release agent
