POM
High-Performance POM (Polyoxymethylene) Engineering Plastics for Precision and Durability
Polyoxymethylene (POM), commonly known as acetal or Delrin, is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical properties, low friction, and high stiffness. This engineering plastic is widely used in precision engineering applications that require high dimensional stability, strength, and resistance to wear. POM is often found in industries like automotive, manufacturing, and electronics, where durability and performance are critical for both moving parts and structural components.
Key Features:
High mechanical strength and stiffness, even at elevated temperatures
Low friction properties, making it ideal for sliding applications and wear-resistant components
Excellent dimensional stability, retaining shape and size even under stress
Outstanding chemical resistance, particularly against fuels, solvents, and lubricants
Good fatigue resistance, ensuring durability under repeated stress and motion
Low moisture absorption, which helps maintain consistent performance in varying environments
Easily machinable, allowing for precise manufacturing of complex shapes
Industrial Applications:
Automotive Industry – Used for gears, bearings, bushings, and fuel system components, where strength and low friction are essential
Electronics & Electrical – Ideal for connectors, housings, and components that require high mechanical strength and electrical insulation
Manufacturing & Machinery – Applied in precision parts such as sliding components, rollers, and valves for mechanical assemblies
Consumer Goods – Used in durable components such as zippers, fasteners, and kitchen appliances
Medical Devices – Applied in medical instruments and devices where reliability and cleanliness are critical
Aerospace – Ideal for lightweight, high-strength components that must endure harsh environments
