Polyoxymethylene, commonly known as Acetal Resin, is a crystalline polymer obtained by polymerizing formaldehyde. It has quickly become widely popular due to its excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and good workability. Applications: Mechanical: Widely used for manufacturing mechanical parts such as bearings, low-modulus gears, sliding wheels, guides, and dimensionally stable precision parts. Food: Physiologically inert, it is used for contact with food products. Electrical: Being non-hygroscopic, this material is commonly used in electrical applications as an insulator. Chemical: It is resistant to alkalis and organic compounds; due to its good chemical resistance, it is used for pump bodies, flanges, and parts in chemical systems. The Acetal Resin (POM – C) has the following properties: High fatigue resistance Low coefficient of friction Excellent dimensional stability High compressive strength and impact resistance even at low temperatures High chemical resistance to solvents, fuels, and strong alkalis Excellent machinability Suitable for food contact Good dielectric and insulating properties Impermeable to gases, no microporosity Among the product’s drawbacks, it is noted that: Compared to PA6, it has lower abrasion resistance, especially in dirty and dusty environments Low resistance to concentrated acids MECHANICAL CHEMICAL ELECTRICAL FOOD PHARMACEUTICAL
