Polyoxymethylene can be used in temperatures up to 100°C. The high surface strength is only surpassed by a few materials. POM shows good sliding properties and high resistance to wear and tear because of the high strength and smooth surface. There is a very low risk of stress cracks. POM-C exhibits a high thermal stability and a high resistance to chemicals. Properties: - no microporosity
- high strength
- high rigidity
- high thermal stability
- low water absorption
- high dimension stability
- good electrical insulating properties
- very good sliding properties
- high resistance to stress cracks
- not resistant to high concentrated acids
- difficult to glue and paint
Applications include bearings, fittings, gear wheels, parts for pumps, screws, bobbins, parts for textile industry, and medium for coating lines. |
