APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Polyoxymethylene (POM)
Polyoxymethylene is a semicrystalline engineering thermoplastic also known as acetal. Homopolymer and copolymer grades serve components requiring combinations of stiffness, dimensional stability and sliding behaviour.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Polyoxymethylene (POM) is an engineering thermoplastic that is used in various applications in automobile, electronic and consumer goods industries. Characteristics of Polyoxymethylene (POM) make it applicable for usage in various end-user applications such as manufacture of electronic appliances, electrical parts, children's toys and disposable applicators among others.
Shrinkage and crystallisation influence moulded dimensions. Grade selection also considers temperature, chemicals and long-term load.
Fillers, lubricants and other modifications change performance and processing. A nominal resin family does not establish every grade's friction or creep behaviour.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows accepted precision parts and their material mass. Base resin, compounds and moulded precision components have distinct value boundaries.
The commercial boundary
Base resin, compounds and moulded precision components have distinct value boundaries.
