POLYACETAL (CH²O) n called POM by polyoxymethylene, high rigidity crystalline thermoplastic, used in precision parts that require high rigidity, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. It is manufactured in the form of homopolymer and copolymer. It is a highly crystalline engineered thermoplastic, mainly used in high mechanical load applications such as safety brakes, gears, medical handling devices and conveyor belts. It has a low coefficient of friction.
