POM (Polyoxymethylene)

POM, also known as Acetal, Polyacetal, and Polyformaldehyde, is an engineering thermoplastic polymer used in parts that require high strength, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. It is popular in precision engineering applications, such as machinery components, electronic parts, and the automotive industry.

Key Features of POM:

• High Strength and Rigidity: POM can be used in environments with temperatures as low as -40°C while maintaining its mechanical properties.

• Wear Resistance and Low Friction: Ideal for applications requiring durability, such as gears, rollers, nuts, and bushings.

• Dimensional Stability: POM retains its shape and size well even in conditions with temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for high-precision components.

• Color and Appearance: POM is an opaque white polymer due to its high crystalline structure but can be produced in various colors to meet specific requirements.

Applications of POM:

• Automotive Industry: Used in parts requiring precision and wear resistance, such as gear systems.

• Machinery Industry: Employed in gears, rollers, and components that benefit from good lubrication without the need for additional lubricants.

• Electronics Industry: Utilized in connectors and components that require electrical durability and strength.
