Acetal polymers, referred to chemically as POM PolyOxyMethylene, are semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics made by the polymerization of formaldehyde. They have physical properties that are not available with metals or most other plastics; high mechanical strength and rigidity, low coefficients of friction, low moisture absorption, excellent dimensional stability, fatigue endurance, and resistance to abrasion and creep. These materials are also resistant to a wide range of solvents and have good electrical properties.

Applications
•  Structural components
•  Bearings, bushings, wear pads
•  Gears
•  Electrical components
•  Jigs and fixtures
•  Pump and valve parts
•  Medical components

Characteristics
•  Low moisture absorption
•  Low coefficient of friction
•  High strength and stiffness
•  Excellent electrical properties
•  Good chemical resistance
•  Easy to fabricate
