POM H

POM-H (homopolymer), known as Delrin, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic of high hardness and strength that machines very well and has many applications.

POM-C (copolymer) and POM-H (homopolymer) have similar properties. The main difference is that POM-H has better mechanical properties and is easier to machine. However, this advantage is lost with heat: its strength and performance drop with high temperatures, hot water and alkalis.

Main characteristics

• Compact and rigid.
• Resistant to dilute acids, cleaning products and many solvents.
• Difficult to bond.
• Very good electrical insulator.
• Does not withstand hot water above 60 °C for long periods.
• Good machinability.
• Very good sliding behaviour.
• Tough.

Typical uses

Mechanical engineering, vehicles, conveying technology, textile machinery, electrical and electronic engineering, precision engineering, process engineering and packaging machinery.
