In the world of high-performance engineering plastics, POM Sheet (Polyoxymethylene) stands out as a critical material for applications demanding exceptional dimensional stability, low friction, and high rigidity. Often referred to as Delrin® Polyoxymethylene Board (a renowned brand name), this acetal resin family, including both homopolymer (like Delrin®) and copolymer (POM-C Sheet), offers unparalleled properties for precision parts.
Why Choose POM Board?
Unmatched Precision & Stability: POM Sheet boasts extremely low moisture absorption and creep resistance, making it ideal for components requiring tight tolerances over time and varying environments. This ensures parts maintain their shape and function reliably.
Superior Mechanical Strength: Offering high stiffness, excellent fatigue endurance, and remarkable impact resistance (even at low temperatures), POM-C Sheet excels in demanding mechanical applications like gears, bearings, and conveyor components.
Low Friction & Wear Resistance: Both homopolymer (Delrin® Polyoxymethylene Board) and copolymer POM Sheet provide outstanding lubricity, minimizing wear against metals and other plastics. This translates to longer component life and reduced maintenance.
Chemical & Solvent Resistance: POM boards resist a wide range of chemicals, fuels, and solvents, making them suitable for automotive, fluid handling, and industrial settings.
POM-C Sheet vs. Homopolymer (Delrin®): While both share core POM benefits, POM-C Sheet (copolymer) typically offers better chemical resistance (especially to strong bases) and lower formaldehyde release during machining. Homopolymer grades like Delrin® Polyoxymethylene Board often provide higher mechanical strength, stiffness, and creep resistance.
Key Applications:
Precision gears, cams, and bearings
High-wear industrial parts (bushings, rollers, guides)
Snap-fit components and fasteners
Automotive fuel system parts
Electrical insulators and housings
Food processing components (where compliant grades are used)
High-performance jigs, fixtures, and prototypes
Invest in Performance: Whether you require the excellent machinability and surface finish of POM Sheet, the enhanced chemical resistance of POM-C Sheet, or the top-tier mechanical properties of Delrin® Polyoxymethylene Board, this material family delivers reliable solutions for the most challenging engineering problems.
