POM properties at a glance

POM (polyoxymethylene, also known as polyacetal or acetal) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic material, which is characterised by its good mechanical properties, high dimensional stability and excellent sliding and wear behaviour. Due to their properties, POM plastics are used as design materials in a wide range of applications of demanding operating conditions. POM is subdivided into POM homopolymers (POM-H) and POM copolymers (POM-C). POM-C has better chemical resistance (e.g. to hot water), while POM-H is characterised by a slightly higher strength.

 

POM-C

  • High chemical resistance 
  • High dimensional stability 
  • Low moisture absorption 
  • Excellent sliding properties 
  • High abrasion resistance 
  • ideal combination of strength, stiffness and toughness 
  • Little tendency to creep 
  • Good machinability 
  • favourable electrical and dielectric behaviour 

POM-H

  • High strength of shape 
  • Low moisture absorption 
  • Good wear resistance 
  • high mechanical strength and stiffness at good toughness 
  • high creep resistance 
  • Good machinability 

We use exclusively Delrin® to produce our Sustarin® H. (Delrin® is a registered trademark of DuPont de Nemours)
