Acetal POM: A Deep Dive into Key Properties

Polyoxymethylene is a leading engineering thermoplastic because it offers a unique and powerful combination of properties that make it a reliable replacement for metal in many applications.

Superior Mechanical Performance

POM exhibits high tensile strength, stiffness, and creep resistance, allowing it to withstand heavy, continuous loads without deforming. Its excellent impact strength makes it resistant to cracking and failure, ensuring part longevity in demanding mechanical systems.

Exceptional Frictional Properties

With a very low coefficient of friction and inherent self-lubricating characteristics, POM is a top choice for high-wear applications. This reduces the need for external lubricants, lowers operating noise, and extends the life of moving parts like gears and bearings.

Excellent Environmental Stability

Acetal's extremely low moisture absorption rate gives it outstanding dimensional stability. Parts machined from POM will not swell or warp in humid or submerged conditions, holding their precise tolerances. It also boasts broad resistance to industrial solvents, fuels, and chemicals.

Industrial Applications: From POM Gears to Medical Devices

Automotive & Aerospace

In the automotive and aerospace sectors, POM is crucial for manufacturing durable, lightweight components that can withstand constant use and exposure to fuels and fluids. Specific parts include fuel system floats, pump components, seat belt buckles, and control cable guides.

Industrial Machinery & Automation

POM is the go-to material for moving parts in industrial equipment. Its self-lubricating nature makes it perfect for conveyor system rollers, chain guides, wear pads, bushings, and high-load precision gears, reducing maintenance and operational noise.

Medical & Food Processing

Special grades of Acetal Copolymer (POM-C) are biocompatible and FDA compliant. This makes them ideal for surgical handles, instrument guides, and components in food processing machinery where hygiene and resistance to harsh cleaning chemicals are paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions about Acetal POM Plastic

What is the main difference between POM-C and POM-H?

In short: POM-C (Copolymer) has superior chemical and hydrolysis resistance, making it better for wet environments. POM-H (Homopolymer, like Delrin®) has higher mechanical strength and a lower friction coefficient, making it ideal for high-load, high-wear mechanical parts.

Is POM plastic food safe?

Standard POM grades are not inherently food safe. However, special FDA-compliant grades of Acetal Copolymer (POM-C) are available and commonly used in food processing and medical applications. Please specify this requirement when requesting a quote.

Can Acetal be bonded or glued?

Due to its excellent chemical resistance and low surface energy, POM is very difficult to bond using common adhesives. Mechanical fastening is almost always preferred. For applications requiring bonding, surface treatments like chemical etching or specialized industrial adhesives are necessary.
