Polyoxymethylene (POM)

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, is a type of plastic that is characterized by its high strength, stiffness, and low friction. It is a crystalline thermoplastic that is resistant to wear, chemicals, andmoisture.

POM is commonly used to make mechanical parts, such as gears, bearings, and sprockets, as well as electrical components, such as connectors and switches. It is also used in the medical industry for devices such as artificial joints and in the automotive industry for fuel system components.

One of the main advantages of POM is its excellent mechanical properties. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is able to maintain its properties over a wide temperature range. It is also easy to process and can be molded into a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Overall, POM is a popular choice for a variety of applications due to its strength, stiffness, low friction, and excellent wear resistance.
