POM MDP

POM – Polyacetal

POM MDP

POM MDP was developed to assist in the detection of foreign substances in the food industry. The material contains metal particles, making it detectable with standard metal detectors. It has food-grade approval (from the FDA). We deliver POM MDP as plastic sheets and rods.
