Standard Materials

Siegling Prolink modules made of standard materials are FDA compliant.

Polyethylene (PE)

• very good chemical resistance to acids and alkalis
• very good release properties due to low surface tension
• good friction and abrasion behaviour
• extremely tough
• low specific weight

Polypropylene (PP)

• standard material for normal conveying applications
• quite strong and stiff
• good dynamic capacity
• highly resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, alcohols
• low specific weight
• no risk of stress cracks forming

Polyoxymethylene/Polyacetal (POM)

• very dimensionally stable
• very strong and stiff
• high chemical resistance to organic solvents
• lower drag
• very durable material
• hard, incision-resistant surface

Stainless steel connecting rods are available.
