FDA-Compliant Colored Acetal

Improved process technology now allows Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products to offer seven standard FDA-compliant colors of Acetron® GP acetal rod in small quantities and drastically-reduced lead times.

The new capability in colored stock shapes for machining overcomes the historical two to three months’ lead time and high minimum order volume requirements due to resin and shapes production limitations. All of the new Acetron GP colors meet the requirements of FDA Regulation 21 CFR, Section 177.2470 (e)(1), (2).

The seven standard colors are intended for parts in processing and packaging equipment for food, dairy processing and pharmaceutical products. They are also ideal where change-out parts need to be quickly and easily identified for use on specific processes.

The material is available in red, blue, green, yellow, orange, gray and brown, within 3-4 weeks from date of order, in quantities of about 200 lbs per size and color, depending on diameter. Sample discs are available through Quadrant and their Authorized Distributor Network.
