Polyoxymethylene (POM)
Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as Acetal, is a high-performance engineering plastic valued for its excellent dimensional stability, low friction, high stiffness and outstanding wear resistance.
At Specs Advanced Material Sdn. Bhd., we supply quality POM sheets and rods for precision engineering, automation and industrial applications. Our team can recommend the most suitable grade based on your application requirements.
Typical Applications
• Precision gears
• Bearings and bushings
• Rollers
• Conveyor components
• Valve components
• Pump parts
• Electrical insulators
• Precision machined parts
POM is widely used for precision components requiring excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption and consistent mechanical performance.
Its combination of high stiffness, low friction and excellent machinability makes it a preferred material for replacing metal parts in many engineering applications.
Both POM-C (Copolymer) and POM-H (Homopolymer) grades are available depending on performance requirements and application.
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Low moisture absorption
- Low coefficient of friction
- Excellent wear resistance
- High stiffness and strength
- Good impact resistance
- Excellent machinability
- Good electrical insulating properties
- Good creep resistance
- Precision gears
- Bushings and bearings
- Rollers
- Conveyor components
- Pump and valve components
- Mechanical linkages
- Electrical insulation parts
- Precision machined components
Selecting the right POM grade depends on factors such as:
- Load requirements
- Wear conditions
- Dimensional tolerance
- Moisture exposure
- Chemical environment
- Machining requirements
- Food contact requirements
Our technical team can recommend the most suitable POM material for your application.
