POM
POM, also known as acetal or polyoxymethylene, is a high-strength engineering plastic known for its excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability.
At GD Prototyping, we provide premium POM (Polyoxymethylene), also known as acetal, a high-strength engineering thermoplastic valued for its toughness, excellent wear resistance, and dimensional stability. With its low friction properties and high stiffness, POM is widely used in industries that require durable, precise, and long-lasting components.
Applications of POM
- Automotive Components – Used in gears, fuel system parts, and safety mechanisms requiring high wear resistance.
- Electrical and Electronics – Ideal for connectors, insulators, and switch components due to its dielectric properties.
- Industrial Machinery – Applied in conveyor rollers, bearings, and bushings where strength and low friction are essential.
- Consumer Goods – Found in zippers, buckles, handles, and precision parts that must withstand continuous use.
- Medical Devices – Used in instrument housings and moving components requiring accuracy and chemical resistance.
Benefits
- High Mechanical Strength: POM delivers exceptional toughness and stiffness, making it suitable for demanding load-bearing applications.
- Excellent Wear Resistance: Its natural lubricity and durability reduce friction, extending the life of moving parts.
- Dimensional Stability: POM maintains its shape and performance even under thermal or mechanical stress.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to fuels, oils, and many solvents, making it versatile across industries.
- Ease of Machining: Its excellent processability allows for complex part design and precision molding.
