POM C (poly­oxy­me­thy­lene (copo­ly­mer))

POM is a semi-crystal­line ther­mo­pla­s­tic with high mecha­ni­cal strength and stiff­ness. It offers good sliding proper­ties, excel­lent wear resis­tance and low mois­ture absorp­tion. Thanks to its good dimen­sio­nal stabi­lity, outstan­ding fati­gue strength and excel­lent machina­bi­lity, POM C is an extre­mely versa­tile engi­nee­ring mate­rial – even for complex components.
POM C offers higher impact strength and higher abra­sion resis­tance than POM H. The chemi­cal resis­tance of POM C is also higher and the melting point is lower.

  • POM C ELS – elec­tri­cally conductive
  • POM C blue – as a visual iden­ti­fier for use in the food industry
  • POM C GF – glass fiber additive
  • POM C MD – metal detectable
  • POM C MG – for use in medi­cal technology
