POM Material Properties

Some grades of POM are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain food-contact applications. Here are key material properties of polycarbonate:

Acetal Copolymer (POM-C)
Acetal Homopolymer (POM-H)

Acetal Copolymer (POM-C) Properties

Acetal Copolymer, often referred to as POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer), is a specific type of acetal resin that belongs to the family of polyoxymethylene polymers. POM-C is commonly known by the trade names Delrin.

Tensile Strength, Yield (MPa) Elongation at Break (%) Hardness Maximum service temperature Thermal expansion coefficent
60 - 70 30 - 32 88 HRM 82 - 90 °C 90 - 97 10^-6/ºC

Acetal Homopolymer (POM-H)

Delrin (POM-H) is the easiest to machine engineering plastic. Ideal for parts with high stiffness, low friction and very low water absorption.

Tensile Strength, Yield (MPa) Elongation at Break (%) Hardness Maximum service temperature Thermal expansion coefficent

POM At a Glance

Application High-precision mechanical parts such as bushings, gears, valves, and bearings components.
Advantages High tensile & impact strength, good fatigue and moisture resistance, low friction.
Weaknesses Greater geometry restrictions than 3D printing
Lead Time Typically, it takes a minimum of 3 days to produce POM parts, and this duration may extend for complex or internationally sourced components.
Price $$$$$
Tolerances It is determined by the desired effect and the POM type used. A tolerance of ±0.010” (±0.25 mm) is available at Dadesin.
Wall Thickness The minimum wall thickness for POM parts is approximately 0.80 mm (about 0.03 inches). This value might vary based on the ratio of wall thickness to planar dimension.
Max part size 200 x 80 x 100 cm(the available size is mostly decided by the machine and part geometry).
