Polyoxymethylene (POM) — An Excellent Engineering Plastic

Plastic injection machined parts are components produced through the process of plastic injection molding, which involves injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity.

Once cooled, the plastic solidifies and takes the shape of the mold, resulting in precisely formed parts. This method is widely used for creating complex and high-volume plastic components with consistent quality.


What is Polyoxymethylene (POM)?

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal or Delrin, is a high-density, high-crystalline thermoplastic. Due to its exceptional mechanical properties and chemical resistance, POM is widely used in the manufacturing of various precision parts.

 

How can Unison tek apply POM material?

It can be processed using various methods such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and compression molding to manufacture parts of different shapes and sizes. This makes POM highly versatile in different application scenarios.

 Characteristics of POM

  • High Mechanical Strength and Hardness: POM exhibits excellent mechanical strength and hardness, capable of withstanding high loads and stress environments.

  • Low Friction Coefficient: This makes POM ideal for dynamic applications such as bearings, sliders, and gears.

  • Wear Resistance and Fatigue Resistance: POM has outstanding wear resistance and fatigue resistance, suitable for mechanical parts that require long-term operation.

  • Chemical Resistance: POM is highly resistant to many chemicals, making it ideal for applications involving chemical exposure.

  • Dimensional Stability: Due to its low moisture absorption, POM maintains dimensional stability even in humid environments.

Applications of POM

  • Automotive Industry: Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance, POM is commonly used in fuel system components, window lifters, and fasteners.

  • Electronics and Electrical: POM’s excellent electrical insulation properties make it suitable for manufacturing connectors, switches, and other electronic components.

  • Household Appliances: POM is used in household appliances such as washing machines, coffee machines, and vacuum cleaners for making gears and bearings.

  • Medical Devices: Due to its chemical resistance and biocompatibility, POM is used in the production of medical instruments and surgical tools.

  • Industrial Machinery: POM is used to manufacture various gears, bearings, sliders, and other mechanical parts to enhance the durability and operational efficiency of equipment.
