POM Rod, POM Sheet, Delrin Rod

POM Rod
Dia. 8mm ~ 200mm

Polyoxymethylene can be used in temperatures ranging from -50 degree centigrade +100 degree centigrade. The high surface strength is only sur-passed by a few materials. POM shows good sliding properties and high resistance to wear and tear because of high strength and surface. There is a very low risk of stress cracks.

Differences
Delrin is a homopolymer grade, this means that there are advantages and disadvantages over Acetal Rod.

Advantages
Acetal Rod is more suited to the more mechanical applications where an easy to machine and high quality surface finish is required. It is potentially harder wearing than Acetal and is often used in the manufacture of gears or even motorcycle crash pegs.

Applications
POM Rod is suitable for most non food and non highly abrasive component applications. Because POM does not absorb very much moisture, it is an engineering plastic that will suit marine applications as it also has a very low friction co-efficient and possesses exceptional sliding abilities. POM is also very good for manufacturing of many gears, because it is very good to machine and has mechanical strength and provides long life and quiet operation.
