Overview
POM granules, or polyoxymethylene, are semi-crystalline thermoplastics known for their exceptional mechanical properties and chemical resistance. They are widely used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and dimensional stability. POM is available in two main types: homopolymer and copolymer. Homopolymer POM offers higher mechanical strength, while copolymer POM provides better thermal and chemical resistance. Both types are processed via injection molding or extrusion.
Physical and Chemical Properties
POM granules exhibit high tensile strength (60-70 MPa) and rigidity, making them suitable for load-bearing applications. Their low coefficient of friction (0.1-0.3) and wear resistance are ideal for gears and bearings. Chemically, POM resists hydrocarbons, alcohols, and weak acids but degrades in strong acids or bases. It has a low water absorption rate (<0.25%), ensuring stability in humid environments. Thermal stability ranges from -40°C to 100°C, with short-term tolerance up to 140°C.
Main Applications
In the automotive industry, POM is used for fuel system components, door handles, and seatbelt mechanisms due to its durability and lightweight properties. Electrical applications include insulators, connectors, and switch components. Consumer goods like zippers, kitchen utensils, and toy parts leverage POM's smooth surface and food-contact compliance (for specific grades). Industrial uses encompass conveyor belts, pump parts, and precision gears.
Safety and Storage
POM granules are generally stable but release formaldehyde when heated above 200°C. Proper ventilation and PPE (gloves, masks) are mandatory during processing. Storage should be in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect processing quality. Fire hazards are minimal, but combustion produces toxic fumes. Use dry powder or CO₂ extinguishers for emergencies. Disposal should follow local regulations for thermoplastic waste.
B2B Procurement Guide
When sourcing POM granules, specify the grade (homopolymer/copolymer), additives (e.g., UV stabilizers), and color requirements. Reputable suppliers provide material data sheets (MDS) and compliance certificates (e.g., FDA for food-grade applications). Bulk purchases (pallet or truckload) often reduce costs by 10-15%. Consider regional logistics; moisture-resistant packaging is critical for long-distance shipping. Sample testing for melt flow index (MFI) and mechanical properties is recommended.
