POM

Main Characteristics

• High mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness
• Excellent resilience
• Good creep resistance
• High impact strength, even at low temperatures
• Very good dimensional stability [low water absorption]
• Good sliding properties and wear resistance
• Excellent machinability
• Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
• Physiologically inert [several grades have a food contact compliant composition]
• Not self-extinguishing

Applications

Gear wheels with small modulus, cams. heavily loaded bearings and rollers, bearings and gears with small clearances. valve seats. snapfit assemblies, dimensionally stable precision parts, electrically insulating components.
