About Molybdenum Vanadium Steel
Molybdenum vanadium steel is made of stainless steel cutlery with Molybdenum (Mo) which is less likely to be affected by temperature rise, and vanadium (V) which prevents it from becoming softer and stronger when tempering, making it highly resistant to wear and stickiness. It is highly resistant to rust and is not affected by temperature rise, so it is also used for surgical scalpels such as hospitals. Molybdenum vanadium steel has little impurities, and is characterized by a stainless steel knife with a blade that is good for holding the blade. It is also easy to clean because it is safe for household dishwashers.
About Polyacetal Resin
Polyacetal has excellent functions as 5 large engineering plastics. Its characteristics are abrasion resistant and high strength. It has excellent abrasion resistance due to its high self-lubrication, and it also has a creep resistance that can withstand use at high temperatures. It also has excellent electrical properties and excellent electrical insulation.
