Polyacetal, commonly known as POM (Polyoxymethylene), is a thermoplastic material popular for its exceptional mechanical properties. POM sheets are manufactured from POM resin through a precision process, resulting in a strong, rigid, and dimensionally stable material. They possess remarkable resistance to wear, impact, and moisture, making them a top choice in engineering applications, particularly in gears, bearings, and precision components. POM sheets are also known for their low friction properties and excellent machinability, allowing for intricate and high-precision designs. Their resistance to chemicals and solvents further extends their usability in various industries, from automotive and electronics to food processing and consumer goods.
Polyacetal, commonly referred to as POM (Polyoxymethylene), is renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties, and POM rods encapsulate these characteristics effectively. These solid cylindrical structures are manufactured from POM resin using a precise production process, resulting in a high-strength, rigid, and dimensionally stable material. POM rods excel in applications that demand outstanding wear resistance, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. They are frequently used in the manufacturing of precision components, gears, bearings, and various mechanical parts. The material's inherent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and solvents makes POM rods invaluable in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precision and durability are paramount, contributing to their widespread popularity.
