For everything that moves.
Low friction, dimensional stability and excellent fatigue resistance: gears, guides, cams, hinges. POM, though, is not chosen on a single axis: how well it flows — the melt index varies sixfold from grade to grade — and whether it is homopolymer or copolymer. The homopolymer is stiffer and stronger; the copolymer stands up better to hot water, alkalis and prolonged heat.
MFR ≈ 2.5 — The toughest
Thick walls, parts working in fatigue, where the resin must give its most.
General purpose
Gears, guides, valve bodies: the starting choice.
Grade-dependent figure: check the datasheet of the selected material.
Easy moulding
Complex geometries, multi-cavity moulds, short cycles.
Grade-dependent figure: check the datasheet of the selected material.
MFR ≈ 15 — Thin and stiff
Long flow paths, thin walls, fine detail that still has to stay stiff.
Data from producers’ datasheets, medians per family: they are for comparing levels with one another, not guaranteed values. We supply the datasheet of the chosen grade on request.
Parts made in our own plants, with finishing done in-house.
