POM C

POM-C (copolymer) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with a low coefficient of friction and good wear resistance. It resists a wide range of chemicals well, including many solvents.

As its water absorption is practically nil, it has better dimensional stability than polyamides. It machines very well and is easy to polish. Its behaviour is similar to that of steel.

Main characteristics

• Excellent sliding properties.
• Minimal water absorption.
• Good dimensional stability.
• Low coefficient of friction.
• Good mechanical strength.
• Easy to machine.
• Suitable for food contact (FDA, BfR).

Typical uses

Bearings, gear wheels, industrial components, plumbing fittings, kettles, and machining of delicate parts where nylon causes problems because of its internal stresses.
