POM Sheet is produced through extrusion or injection molding processes using polyoxymethylene (POM) resin. The unique chemical structure of polyoxymethylene endows POM Sheet with outstanding characteristics such as high strength, high hardness, excellent wear resistance, good dimensional stability, and superior chemical resistance. It is widely used in numerous fields including electronics and electrical appliances, automotive, and is a key material in high-end manufacturing, facilitating the precise manufacturing and efficient operation of products.
- High Strength and High Hardness: It has high tensile and bending strength, capable of withstanding significant external forces without being easily deformed or fractured. With a high surface hardness, it can resist wear and scratches, and is used for gears and bushings in industrial machinery to ensure stable power transmission.
- Excellent Wear Resistance: It has a low coefficient of friction and is highly wear-resistant. During frictional contact, it can maintain dimensional accuracy and surface finish, reducing wear losses and downtime for maintenance. It is used for components that require frequent movement, such as window regulator gears in automobiles.
- High Fatigue Resistance: It maintains good performance under repeated alternating stress and is not prone to generating fatigue cracks. It is used for equipment that requires frequent start-stop and vibration, such as valve tappets in engines, ensuring safe and stable operation.
- Good Corrosion Resistance: It can tolerate a variety of chemical substances including organic acids and alkali solutions, and resist erosion under certain concentrations and temperatures, maintaining physical, mechanical, and appearance quality. It is used for lining chemical equipment and reagent containers in laboratories.
- Moderate Weather Resistance: It has stable performance indoors or under general outdoor sheltered conditions. Although its ability to resist ultraviolet rays and other outdoor elements is not as good as that of some specialized outdoor plastics, it can meet the requirements for indoor furniture connectors and outdoor electronic device housing support parts.
- Low Water Absorption: It hardly absorbs water and will not cause dimensional expansion, deformation, or performance degradation when in a humid environment or in contact with water. It is used for precision instruments and electronic device components to ensure accurate operation.
- Excellent Thermal Stability: It has good thermal stability within a certain temperature range, with a small coefficient of thermal expansion. When the temperature changes, the dimensional change is small. It can work for a long time from normal temperature to medium temperature and can withstand high-temperature impacts in a short time. It is used for heat-resistant parts in automobile engines and other applications.
- Easy to Cut: It can be processed using conventional metal cutting equipment and tools. Its cutting performance is similar to that of metals, with high precision and a smooth surface. The chips are easy to clean up, improving production efficiency and reducing costs. It is used for manufacturing precision mechanical parts.
- Partially Injection Moldable: Specific specifications can be injection molded with high efficiency, good product consistency, and easy control of precision. It is suitable for mass-producing small and precise parts, such as micro gears in electronic appliances, promoting the development of the electronics industry.
