In novice terms, Ertalyte is semi-crystalline, thermoplastic polymer which is manufactured from proprietary resins. It is FDA-compliant & available in black or natural. The natural one is also USDA-compliant & meets regulatory standards of other types both in the abroad and U.S. These characteristics of ertalyte have provided the material lots of admirers in the food equipment & food processing industries. Ertalyte is well suited for wet as well as dry environments; offers rigidity, high strength, & excellent dimensional stability; is ideal for close approximation-tolerance parts fabrication; can be precisely machined on standard metal-working equipments; & features brilliant wear resistance. It withstands acids far better than acetal (another type of plastic) & nylon.

In addition to its use in the food equipment & food processing industries, designers & engineers have indulged ertalyte in many other uses. Depending on the current usage for which it is been used, its characteristics are superior to nylon, aluminum, stainless steel & acetal. Take for example, test & process equipment manifolds made from ertalyte offers better chemical resistance and superior stain & dimensional stability than those formed from acetal or aluminum. Its clean hygienic appearance & rigidity— in addition to other properties mentioned earlier—make ertalyte an ideal choice for locating rings and disks, carousels; filter tracks; & other components used in pharmaceutical test equipment. Ertalyte is offered in sheet & rod form & gives excel performance under both high-velocity & high-pressure conditions.
