Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications of POM

advantage:

1. High chemical stability and excellent electrical insulation.

2, excellent fatigue resistance and creep resistance;

3, good resistance to wear, self-lubricating and friction;

4, mechanical properties and rigidity, close to metal materials, is an ideal material to replace copper, cast zinc, steel, aluminum and other metal materials.

Disadvantages:

1. Low toughness;

2. Poor heat resistance and poor weather resistance;

3. The gap sensitivity is large and the molding yield is large;

4. It is difficult to bond, and it is difficult to add flame retardant to improve its flammability.

POM application:

auto industry

POM's main application areas are the manufacture of vaporizer components, oil pipelines, pumps, Bearings, universal joint bearings, gears, handles, handles, instrument panels, bushings, automotive lift window devices, and electrical switches and safety devices on automobiles.
