Engineering Precision Through Crystalline Perfection

Transform your engineering applications with our Polyoxymethylene portfolio, where dimensional stability meets exceptional wear resistance in a high-performance engineering thermoplastic.

Understanding POM (Polyoxymethylene/Acetal)

Polyoxymethylene represents engineering precision at the molecular level, built upon a backbone of perfectly aligned oxymethylene units. Like a well-organized crystal lattice, POM's highly regular structure creates exceptional dimensional stability and mechanical properties. Available in both homopolymer and copolymer variants, POM's unique molecular architecture delivers natural lubricity combined with outstanding wear resistance.

POM Classifications

Homopolymer Grades

Standard Flow Grades

Our standard homopolymer grades feature MFI ranges from 9 to 13 g/10min (190°C, 2.16kg), delivering excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability. These grades provide superior strength and stiffness, making them ideal for precision engineering components. Their high crystallinity ensures excellent wear resistance and low friction characteristics.

High Flow Grades

Engineered for complex or thin-wall applications, these grades offer MFI ranges from 14 to 27 g/10min. While maintaining core POM properties, they enable faster cycling and easier filling of intricate molds. Perfect for small, precise components where dimensional accuracy is crucial.

Low Friction Grades

Specially formulated with internal lubricants, these grades maintain MFI ranges from 10 to 15 g/10min while offering enhanced wear properties. The carefully selected additives reduce friction without compromising mechanical strength, ideal for moving parts and bearing applications.

Copolymer Grades

General Purpose Grades

Our copolymer portfolio features MFI ranges from 8 to 12 g/10min, offering enhanced thermal stability and chemical resistance compared to homopolymers. These grades provide excellent dimensional stability with improved resistance to hot water and basic environments.

Impact Modified Grades

Impact-enhanced grades combine MFI ranges from 6 to 10 g/10min with specially engineered modifiers. They deliver improved toughness while maintaining the essential characteristics of POM, perfect for applications requiring both precision and impact resistance.

UV Stabilized Grades

Designed for outdoor applications, these grades incorporate UV stabilizers while maintaining standard MFI ranges. They ensure long-term performance under exposure to sunlight and weather conditions, ideal for exterior automotive and construction applications.

Applications in Modern Industry

The automotive industry relies heavily on POM's unique property profile. From fuel system components to gear assemblies, POM provides the perfect combination of dimensional stability and wear resistance. Its natural lubricity makes it ideal for moving parts, while its excellent fuel resistance ensures long-term reliability in automotive systems.

In the consumer electronics sector, POM creates precision components that maintain tight tolerances throughout their lifetime. From smartphone internal components to laptop hinges, the material's dimensional stability and wear resistance ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability. Its electrical insulation properties and ability to maintain properties across varying temperatures make it invaluable in electronic applications.

The plumbing industry leverages POM's unique combination of properties to create reliable, long-lasting fittings and valves. The material's excellent water resistance and dimensional stability ensure consistent performance, while its natural lubricity facilitates smooth operation in moving parts. Both homopolymer and copolymer grades find extensive use in water handling systems, each chosen based on specific application requirements.
