Overview
POM-C (Polyoxymethylene) rods and sheets are semi-crystalline thermoplastics renowned for their high mechanical strength, rigidity, and resilience. Often branded as Delrin or Acetal, these materials are widely used in precision engineering due to their exceptional dimensional stability and low moisture absorption. Available in both homopolymer (POM-H) and copolymer (POM-C) grades, POM-C offers improved thermal and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. Its machinability allows for tight tolerances, a critical feature for components like gears and bearings.
Physical and Chemical Properties
POM-C exhibits a density of 1.41-1.42 g/cm³ and a melting point range of 165-175°C. Its low coefficient of friction (0.1-0.3) and high wear resistance make it ideal for dynamic applications. The material retains its properties across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +100°C). Chemically, POM-C is resistant to hydrocarbons, alcohols, and weak acids but degrades in strong acids, bases, or oxidizing agents. It has negligible water absorption, ensuring stability in humid environments. UV stabilizers are often added for outdoor use.
Main Applications
POM-C rods and sheets are extensively used in automotive, electronics, and medical industries. Common applications include gear wheels, sliding elements, pump components, and electrical insulators. Its self-lubricating properties reduce the need for external lubricants in machinery. In consumer goods, POM-C is found in zippers, locks, and kitchen utensils. Medical grades meet biocompatibility standards for surgical instruments. The material’s FDA compliance also allows use in food processing equipment.
Safety and Storage
POM-C is generally safe but emits formaldehyde gas when overheated (>200°C). Machining requires adequate ventilation to avoid dust inhalation. Finished products are non-toxic under normal conditions. Store POM-C in original packaging to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid prolonged exposure to UV light unless stabilized. Keep away from strong acids/alkalis and high-temperature sources to prevent degradation.
B2B Procurement Guide
When procuring POM-C, specify the grade (homopolymer for higher stiffness, copolymer for better chemical resistance). Dimensions (diameter, thickness) and tolerances should align with end-use requirements. Custom colors or additives (e.g., PTFE for reduced friction) are available. Suppliers typically offer CNC machining services for pre-fabricated parts. MOQs vary; bulk purchases (500+ kg) may reduce costs by 10-15%. Lead times range from 2-6 weeks, depending on customization.
