Acetal

Characteristics

Semi-crystalline thermoplastic characterized by its low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance. POM offers good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including many solvents. Because it absorbs virtually no water, it has greater dimensional stability than polyamides, is highly machined, and is easily polished. Its performance is similar to that of steel.

Advantages:

  • Impact resistant.
  • Resistant to friction or abrasion.
  • Resistant to chemicals and considerable temperature.
  • Self-lubricating product
  • Electrical and dielectric strength
  • Low moisture absorption

Applications:

POM can be used in bearings, gears, industrial components, plumbing fittings, kettles, and machining fragile parts where nylon presents difficulties due to its tensile strength.

Gears, washers, manufactured parts for any type of spare part, tools, among others…
