POM – also known as acetal or polyacetal – is a highly crystalline, high-performance engineering polymer that displays a broad range of properties, particularly its low coefficient of friction, excellent wear resistance, high modulus and resistance to many solvents and automotive fuels. Basic mechanical properties of acetal copolymers include high strength and stiffness coupled with good impact strength.
Low moisture absorption results in excellent dimensional stability and makes Hostaform® & Celcon® POM an excellent candidate for parts that must exhibit tight tolerances in moist environments.
As a leading acetal copolymer manufacturer, Celanese provides a variety of POM grades that span a wide array of applications & industries, due to their high-performance thresholds.
