POM-C (Polyoxymethylene)

POM-C (Polyoxymethylene) is a highly crystalline thermoplastic, offering excellent low frictional properties and dimensional stability. In addition, its high mechanical strength and toughness coupled with good machinability make it an ideal choice for the production of precision mechanical parts where tight tolerance control is essential. Having a very low moisture absorption, typically (0.08%), it is an ideal material for applications where parts come into contact with chemicals or are exposed to wet conditions.
