POM, also known as polyoxymethylene in Chinese, is an engineering plastic with excellent performance. It is typically sold in the form of rods, sheets, tubes, and other profiles. POM ROD are the most common type, widely used in machining, precision parts manufacturing, and other fields.

Main characteristics of POM ROD

1.High Rigidity, High Strength, and Hardness

POM's specific strength and stiffness approach those of metals, earning it the nickname "steel-rivaling" or "steel-winning." It can replace copper, zinc, aluminum, and other metals in many applications.

2.Excellent Wear Resistance and Self-Lubrication

POM boasts an extremely low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance, making it particularly suitable for manufacturing parts that frequently slide and rotate, such as gears, bearings, cams, and sliders, with minimal or no lubrication.

3.Excellent Fatigue and Creep Resistance

POM maintains stable performance under repeated stress cycles and is less susceptible to permanent deformation, making it suitable for manufacturing components subject to long-term stress, such as springs and clips.

4.Excellent Dimensional Stability

POM has very low water absorption, making its dimensions minimally affected by temperature and humidity fluctuations. This ensures component accuracy and makes it suitable for manufacturing precision parts.

5.Excellent Electrical Insulation

POM is an excellent insulator in dry environments.

6.Chemical Resistance

POM is highly resistant to most organic solvents, oils, and light fuels. However, it is not resistant to strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.

Application fields of POM ROD

1.Automotive Industry: Fuel system components (fuel caps, fuel pumps), door locks, seat belt buckles, window regulators, gears.

2.Precision Mechanics: Gears, bearings, cams, screws, nuts, pump housings.

3.Electronic and Electrical Products: Gears, sliders, connectors, spools.

4.Consumer Products: Zippers, sprayers, pen parts, toys (such as Lego connectors).

5.Pipes and Valves: Faucet cartridges, shower head components.
