POM is commonly used in gears, buckles and fittings.

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as polyacetals or polyformaldehyde, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic resin characterized by high strength, hardness, rigidity and lubricate properties. POM is commonly used in gears, buckles and fittings.
 
Commercially, there are two types of POM available: POM homopolymer, that are mainly polyoxymethylene molecular chain made from formaldehyde bonds. POM copolymer, where trioxane and dioxolane are copolymerize. Homopolymer of POM are general characterize by high heat, strength and stiffness while copolymer of POM are more thermally stable due to presence of carbon-carbon chain and resistance to hot water and weak alkalis.
 
Key Features
1)POM exhibits very well balanced properties over repetitive use and wide temperature range;

2)Excellent creep and fatigue resistance over a wide temperature range for extended periods and repetitive use;

3)POM has superior tribological properties, and therefore excellent friction and wear properties. In addition, it is self-lubricating, makes it a good choice for parts that requires continual and repetitive movements;

4)Other than acids and oxidizing agents / chemicals, POM exhibits excellent resistance and durability to most organic chemical such as anti-freeze, gasoline fuels and engine oil that makes it ideal for automotive and transmission parts;

5)POM also exhibits easy process-ability.
 
Applications
In Cheng Yu, we supply glass fiber, PTFE, conductive and elastomer modified grades of POM for wide range of applications:

Mechanical
Gears, sliding and guiding elements, housing parts, springs, chains, screws, nuts, fan wheels, pump parts, valve bodies;

Electrical Engineering
Insulators, bobbins, connectors, parts for electronic devices such as televisions, telephones etc;

Automotive
