Pom Plastic Sheet

Delrin 150 is standard general purpose unfilled acetal.

Pom plastic sheet.

Technical data sheet acetal pom polyoxymethylene acetal is a very high strength low friction engineered plastic exhibiting excellent wear resistance in both wet and dry envi ronments. Dupont credits scientist r. Industrial engineering plastic sheets and shapes industrial and engineering plastic sheets sheeting and shapes is the section where you will find a wide variety of industrial grade plastic sheet and shape materials used in industry. Delrin plastic is a homopolymer acetal pom.

They are available for the most part in sheet rod tube and profile form. Typical properties include stiffness dimensional stability impact resistance and structural strength. Pom plastic is a semi crystalline thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and rigidity. Macdonald as the inventor of high molecular weight pom.

Pom polyoxymethylene also known as polyacetal or acetal is a semi crystalline thermoplastic material which is characterised by its good mechanical properties high dimensional stability and excellent sliding and wear behaviour. Pom material commonly called acetal chemically known as polyoxymethylene is manufactured by ensinger in standard stock shapes for machining and is extruded in sheet rod and tube. Acetal and delrin rod and sheet about 1952 research chemists at dupont synthesized a version of pom and in 1956 the company filed for patent protection of the homopolymer. With good dimensional stability these materials provide ease of machining making acetal an outstanding choice.

As a semi crystalline material acetal is also characterized by a low coefficient of friction and good wear properties especially in wet environments. Polyoxymethylene pom also known as acetal polyacetal and polyformaldehyde is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness low friction and excellent dimensional stability. Acetal plastic polyacetal and polyoxymethylene pom when refering to engineering plastics it is a group of materials which has a better thermal properties than any other widely used standard plastics acrylic polycarbonate etc.
