Westlake Plastics Pomalux® WR Polyoxymethylene copolymer
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acetal (Polyoxymethylene, POM); Acetal Copolymer, Unreinforced
Material Notes:	Pomalux WR (Wear resistant polyoxymethylene copolymer) is an internally lubricated acetal copolymer. It offers enhanced wear resistance and lower coefficients of friction compared to standard acetal using a PFOA free permanent lubricant. Pomalux WR offers comparable wear and friction performance to PTFE filled POMc without the risk of voids and inclusions that are commonly associated with compression molded and extruded PTFE filed POMc. Similar to unfilled copolymer acetal, Pomalux WR offers high strength and stiffness and good chemical resistance making it an ideal material for load bearing and transmitting components where enhanced wear and low friction performance are critical performance requirements such as gears, bearing, chain guides and other conveyor components. Product is available in natural (off white) and black. Other colors are available on a make to order basis. Colors Available: Black; Natural Attributes: Chemical Resistance; Strength; Abrasion Resistant; Food Contact; Stiffness; Easy Machine; Wear Resistance Shapes: Compression Sheet; Extruded Rod Information provided by Westlake Plastics Co.
