Where low wear, high flexural fatigue, creep performance and fuel resistance are some of the key requirements, polyoxymethylene can be a good choice for you.
Introduction
POM is an engineered super plastic with low coefficient of friction and high abrasion resistance. In fact, POM was developed to fill the gap between engineering polymers and metals.
POM – also known as steel is a highly crystalline, high-performance engineering polymer that exhibits a wide range of properties, especially low friction coefficient, excellent abrasion resistance. Module and resistance to many car solvents and fuels. Basic mechanical properties include high strength
And hardness combined with good impact strength. Low moisture absorption results in excellent dimensional stability and it makes POM an excellent candidate for components that must withstand very high temperatures in humid environments.
Application
Mechanical: This polymer is one of the most widely used engineering plastics that can be used in mechanical applications. Such as: low torque gearboxes – gears – conveyors and precision machinery equipment that require adequate dimensional strength and strong tolerance.
Food: Due to its ineffective physiological properties and the possibility of using it in 80-degree water, it is widely used in this industry. Electrical: Because this polymer is not damp, it has many applications in insulation. Chemical: Due to its resistance to alkali and organic matter, it is suitable for many pumps, flanges and chemical plant equipment.
