Introduction
POM is a highly crystalline engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, stiffness, and low friction. It has good dimensional stability and is resistant to chemicals and wear.
Uses
Mainly used in the manufacturing of precision parts, such as gears, bearings, slides, and mechanical components. It is also used in the automotive industry for fuel system parts and electrical connectors.
Technology
POM can be processed by injection molding, extrusion, and machining. It can be reinforced with glass fibers or other fillers to further enhance its mechanical properties.
