POM (Polyoxymethylene) also known as Derlin, is derived from formaldehyde polymerization. It is a high-density, highly crystalline thermoplastic engineering plastic.
POM Material Properties
It has good physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, especially outstanding friction resistance. It is precisely because of these exceptional chemical and physical properties, which are comparable to steel but lighter in weight, that it is referred to as “super steel”!
Application
Delrin is commonly used to produce precision parts for various industries, particularly suitable for making gears and bearings, and various hardware components due to its ability to withstand repetitive mechanical stress and impact.
The Benefits of POM
Mechanical Properties
high stiffness, strength, and fatigue resistance. suitable for applications requiring components with high mechanical loads.
Low Friction
ideal for applications where reduced friction is necessary, such as gears, bearings, and sliding components.
Wear Resistance
prolongs the lifespan of components and reduces the need for frequent replacements, especially in high-wear applications.
Dimensional Stability
maintains its shape and size even in changing environmental conditions, ensuring consistent performance over time.
Low Moisture Absorption
 To help maintain its mechanical properties in humid or wet environments, reducing the risk of degradation.
Electrical Insulation
suitable for electrical and electronic applications where insulation properties are required.
