TECAFORM AH ELS black

electrically active POM-C with carbon black filler, ESD

Acetal copolymer (POM-C) material modified by the addition of a special conductive carbon black is manufactured by Ensinger under the tradename TECAFORM AH ELS black. The addition of carbon black creates excellent electrical conductivity in the material. Carbon black filled POM-C offers excellent chemical resistance, high strength and hardness, and high abrasion resistance. In addition, carbon black filled POM-C has good UV and weather resistance. Having exceptional wear properties as well, makes this special acetal copolymer an ideal choice also for sliding applications. In combination with TECAFORM AH SD (POM-C with anti-static additive), these materials span the whole spectrum of conductivity from antistatic (POM SD) to static dissipative (POM esd) to conductive (POM ELS).
