POM, also known as polyoxymethylene (short for: Polyoxymethylene), is a thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in engineering plastics. It is an advanced engineering plastic with good stiffness, excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties.
POM material has been around for a long time and can be found in many industries. In injection molding sector, POM material is often preferred due to its good flow characteristics and low molding shrinkage. It is widely used in precision and high-end engineering components. Typical applications include gears, bearings, locks, automotive parts, medical device components and consumer goods.
POM balls are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. They are great for use in roller bearings and linear motion parts, as well as in various pumps, valves and closures. Their hard, rigid and wear-resistant properties make them perfectly suited for high performance applications.
POM balls are also widely used in medical application like surgical implants and medical instruments, due to their high chemical stability, good dimensional stability and resistance to temperature variations. In addition, they are suitable for use in food-grade applications.
In addition to its engineering properties, POM is also well known for its aesthetic appeal. It has a beautiful, glossy luster that does not fade or rust over time. As a result, it is commonly used for the design and manufacture of consumer goods such as cups, bottle lids, kitchenware, jewelry and more.
POM is an important material in the engineering world and it has found its way into many industries. Its balance between being a strong, rigid and wear-resistant material and being aesthetically pleasing has allowed it to become one of the most popular materials used in engineering today.
