WHAT IS POM ?

POM – also known as Acetal or Polyacetal or Polyoxymethylene - is a blend of plastic used in many types of injection molding applications. Since it is a high strength plastic, Polyoxymethylene is often favored for its high impact strength and hardness level, exceptional durability, and high flexural modulus. Other benefits of using Polyoxymethylene products include:

• Heat and flame resistance
• Rigidity
• Wear resistance
• Dimensional stability
• Chemical resistance

POM is a low friction material as well, meaning it doesn’t heat up easily when used in high friction applications.

Retlaw Industries uses innovative plastic injection molding practices to manufacture a number of Polyoxymethylene components for a countless number of industries. Since it’s an acetal resin, POM is vulnerable to acid hydrolysis and oxidation.

POM APPLICATION

Polyoxymethylene is ideal for applications where high strength and durability are critical. Injection molded POM components are used in a wide variety of plastic products, including:

• Mechanical gears
• Ski Bindings
• Metered Dose Inhalers
• Insulin Pens
• RC Drive Motors
• Structural Glass
• Clothing Zippers
