- Comments Off on Acetal (POM) (Polyoxymethylene)
Acetal polymers are semi-crystalline. They offer excellent inherent lubricity, fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance. Acetals suffer from outgassing problems at elevated temperatures, and are brittle at low temperatures. Glass filled, and added lubrication grades are available, flame retardant grades are not. Applications: Mechanical Automotive, Business Machine and Household Appliance, Components…
