POM

Polyoxymethylen, acetal

POM (Polyoxymethylene, acetal) is the most common structural plastic material, together with PA (Nylon).

POM is easy to work for dimensionally stable structures and is weather resistant.

POM can spring a little, giving a snap effect that may be useful in certain contexts.

POM is an affordable material.

POM can be supplied with food approved in conjunction with food contact, upon request.

What is POM used for

Application temperature normally from approx. -50 ° C up to 100 ° C.
Density usually approx. 1.41 g/cmᶟ

Advantages:

  • Food Contact
  • Good combination of toughness, rigidity, creep resistance and dimensional stability
  • Narrow tolerances and goal stability on finished items
  • Good moisture and chemical resistance
  • Large temperature range
  • Resistant to thermal and oxidative decomposition
  • Good resistance to stress relaxtion
  • Good friction and wear characteristics
  • Make gas and steam penetration
  • Filler qualities can be delivered, which improves material properties

Limitations:

Attacked by strong mineral acids (below pH 4).

Decomposed by sunlight / UV rays (nature).

Hard to paste.

Hot water.

High combustion rate.

Low breaking strength.

Applications:

Impeller wheels, bearings, gears, couplings, bearings, pulleys, handles, water meters, propellers for ventilation, fine mechanical details, etc.
