Polyoxymethylene

Introduction:

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic characterized by its low friction, high stiffness, and dimensional stability. It is widely used in precision parts and applications that demand high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and durability. POM is ideal for gears, bearings, and automotive components, providing excellent machinability and long-lasting performance.

Key Features:

• High Mechanical Strength: POM has superior strength and rigidity, making it ideal for structural components.

• Low Friction: Offers excellent wear resistance and low friction coefficient, perfect for sliding parts.

• Dimensional Stability:Resistant to dimensional changes under varying temperature and humidity conditions.

• Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to solvents, fuels, and oils, making it suitable for harsh environments.

• Excellent Creep Resistance: Can withstand continuous load without permanent deformation.

Applications:

1. Automotive Industry: Used in gears, bearings, fuel system components, and connector parts for its strength and wear resistance.

2. Consumer Electronics: Utilized in precision parts like keypads, switches, and enclosures.

3. Industrial Equipment: Found in pumps, valves, and rollers due to its low friction and wear resistance.

4. Medical Devices: Ideal for surgical instruments, implantable devices, and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and strength.

5. Electrical Applications: Used in insulating components and connector parts in electrical devices due to its electrical insulation properties.
