Round Rod in PA6 E MD FG 3000 mm gray

This is a round rod made of PA6 E MD FG, metal detectable food approved extruded polyamide 6.

The material is semi-crystalline. The base is extruded polyamide 6 with a density of 1.14 g/cm³.

MD means the material can be picked up by a metal detector, and FG that it is approved for direct contact with food.

We have no full data sheet for the metal detectable grade, so no mechanical values are given beyond the density of the base material.

Used in the food industry and other production where it is critical that a piece that breaks off can be detected with a metal detector.

The rod can be turned, milled, drilled and tapped with tools meant for engineering plastics. Carbide and coated inserts work best. Moisture affects the dimensions, so let the material rest in the workshop climate before the finishing cuts.

This particular round rod in PA6 E MD FG measuring 3000 mm in the color gray suits parts used close to food such as cutting boards, slide strips and machine guides.

The 3000 mm format in PA6 E MD FG makes it suitable for applications where you need a specific size without large machining margins.

The gray color on this PA6 E MD FG round rod makes it easy to identify in production and lowers the risk of mix-ups.
