Polyoxymethylene, also known as acetal, can be divided into homo-polymers and co-polymers. Both types are crystallize. POM is a hard material that is resistant to fatigue and crips and has low friction coefficient and attractive look. The homo-polymers are highly strong in terms of tension and curvature and resistant to fatigue with a high degree of hardness. The co-polymers which are thermally stable are highly workable and resistant to heat. They are also very alkaline and stretchable.
Characteristic
Highly mechanic and strong in terms of heat and electricity
Highly fatigue-resistant and creep-resistant
Yields little friction highly wear-resistant and magnetic-lubricating
Highly resistant to various chemicals (highly alkaline-resistant) heat and water
Easily processed using machine and yields products of even sizes
Recommended for areas requiring a high degree of hygiene and sanitation such as food.
Applications
Various precision machine parts gears rollers brackets and liners
Insulated products such as electric and electronic semiconductors
