POM is the abbreviation for polyoxymethylene, which is a thermoplastic crystalline polymer.
In terms of performance, it has high hardness and rigidity, excellent mechanical strength, and good fatigue resistance. For example, it has high tensile and bending strength, and can withstand certain external forces without being easily damaged, which makes it widely used in mechanical components that withstand repeated forces. Its friction coefficient is very low, and its wear resistance is outstanding. It has good self-lubricating properties and is very suitable for making parts that require frequent sliding or friction, such as gears, bearings, etc.
POM has good chemical corrosion resistance and has a certain tolerance to organic solvents and many chemical reagents, but it is not resistant to strong acids and bases. In terms of thermal stability, it can maintain stable performance within a certain temperature range, but compared to some high-temperature engineering plastics, its heat resistance temperature is relatively low.
In terms of processing performance, POM is easy to shape and can be processed through injection molding, extrusion, and other methods. It can be easily made into various shapes of products, and the processing accuracy is also relatively high.
In application scenarios, it is used in the automotive industry to manufacture window lifters, fuel system components, etc; In the field of electronic appliances, it is used to make electrical switches, connectors, etc; In mechanical manufacturing, it is used to manufacture various transmission components such as gears, sprockets, pulleys, etc.
