POM-LF

POM-LF (Polyoxymethylene-LF)

POM-LF polymers with improved self-lubricating components.

POM-LF is FDA approved (Some colors may not be tested according to EC1935. Please contact our material expert for further information)

POM

POM is a thermoplastic material with very good mechanical and thermal properties. The material can also be characterized by great strength, stiffness and dimensional stability. POM is resistant to a wide selection of chemicals. POM has good bearing qualities, low coefficient of friction and good resistance to wear.

Chemical effects

Excellent: No attack, possibly slight absorption. No effect on mechanical properties.

Good: Slight attack by absorption. Some swelling and small reduction in mechanical properties likely.

Fair: Moderate attack of appreciable absorption. Material will have limited life.

Unsatisfactory: Material will decompose or dissolve in a short time.
