Polyacetal (POM)

Polyacetal (POM) is an engineering plastic for precision parts in mechanical engineering, automotive, electrical engineering, and industrial equipment. The material is widely used for gears, bearings, sliding elements, housings, valve components, and other components that require dimensional stability and reliable mechanical performance.

POM combines high stiffness with good impact resistance and a low coefficient of friction. In addition, this plastic has high wear resistance, low moisture absorption, and good dimensional stability. As a result, polyacetal remains suitable for parts with tight tolerances, even under varying loads and in humid environments.

An important advantage of polyacetal is its good machinability and processability, which supports the efficient production of complex plastic parts. Due to the combination of mechanical strength, sliding properties, and chemical resistance, POM is a practical choice for applications where metal replacement, lower maintenance, and consistent product quality are important.
