Material POM

• Good resistance to attack by a wide range of chemicals (Copolymer has better chemical resistance than Homopolymer)
• Both the Copolymer and the Homopolyer have excellent mechanical and bearing properties (Homopolyer has better mechanical properties than Copolymer)
• Good electrical insulating properties
• Almost no moisture absorption
• Resistance to abrasion and repeated impacts
• Considered to machine like soft brass
• Polyacetal extrusions tend to have slightly porous centres
• For outdoor applications use black material
• No self extinguishing – caution: burns almost invisibly
