VISCOTEC: Stainless Steel Dispensing for Aggressive Materials
ViscoTec’s preeflow® line has launched a stainless steel version of the eco-PEN. Options include a stainless steel kit with which the classic plastic preeflow eco-PEN can be converted from POM (technically known as polyoxymethylenes or polyacetals) to stainless steel in just a few steps, as well as an eco-PEN that can be purchased as a complete stainless steel dispenser.
Acetone, alcohol, paint, and epoxy resin are just a selection of substances whose chemical properties challenge mechanical engineers in the implementation of customer-specific systems. However, POM plastics are not always the best choice for components and parts because they can become brittle over time when the product comes into contact with aggressive fluids. Unstable processes then result from the diminishing functionality of the component.
