POM Sheet is a high-performance engineering plastic sheet made of polyoxymethylene resin. Polyoxymethylene stands out for its excellent comprehensive properties in many fields. POM Sheet, with these characteristics, is widely used in industries with strict requirements for materials such as precision machinery, electronics and electrical appliances, and the automotive industry. It is an excellent material for manufacturing high-precision and high-reliability components.
- High Strength and Rigidity: POM Sheet has outstanding tensile strength, bending strength, and compressive strength, and can withstand relatively large static and dynamic loads. In mechanical structures and components that need to bear high stress, such as gears and bearings, it can maintain stable shape and size, ensuring the normal operation of equipment.
- High Hardness and Wear Resistance: The material has a relatively high hardness and excellent surface wear resistance. During long-term use, when in frequent friction with other components, the degree of wear is extremely small, which can effectively extend the service life. This characteristic makes it perform excellently in applications involving sliding or rotating motions, such as conveyor belt rollers and mechanical transmission components.
- Good Toughness and Fatigue Resistance: It has good toughness and is not prone to fracture when subjected to impact or cyclic stress. Its fatigue resistance is outstanding. Even under long-term and high-frequency stress cycles, it can still maintain the integrity of the material, suitable for application scenarios that bear repeated loads, such as some moving parts inside the automotive engine.
- Chemical Corrosion Resistance: It has a relatively strong tolerance to many chemical substances, including organic solvents, oils, fuels, and general acid-base solutions. In complex chemical environments, such as the internal components of chemical production equipment or the situation where it comes into contact with various chemical substances in the engine compartment of an automobile, POM Sheet can maintain its own performance stable and effectively prevent chemical erosion.
- Good Weather Resistance: Under different climatic conditions, whether it is a high-temperature, high-humidity environment or an outdoor environment exposed to ultraviolet irradiation, it has a certain degree of tolerance. It can be used for the housings or structural components of outdoor mechanical equipment, and can maintain relatively good performance and appearance even after long-term exposure to the natural environment.
- High Heat Resistance: It can maintain good physical and mechanical properties within a certain high-temperature range. Under normal use temperature, it will not soften, deform, etc., which can meet the application requirements of some high-temperature working conditions, such as being used in the heat dissipation components of electronic and electrical equipment or the heat-resistant structural components around the automotive engine.
- Appropriate Heat Deflection Temperature: Its heat deflection temperature index meets the standards of many industrial applications. Within the working temperature range, it can ensure dimensional accuracy and performance stability, avoiding assembly problems or performance degradation caused by dimensional changes due to temperature changes.
POM Sheet has self-lubricating characteristics. Without external lubrication conditions, its surface friction coefficient is relatively low, which can effectively reduce the friction and wear between moving parts. This characteristic is of great value in applications with high lubrication requirements and where it is not easy to add lubricants, such as the transmission components in food processing equipment or some precision motion mechanisms in medical devices.
- Reliable Insulation Performance: It is an excellent electrical insulation material that can effectively block the passage of electric current and prevent leakage phenomena. In the field of electronics and electrical appliances, it is used to manufacture insulating gaskets, circuit board supports, etc., ensuring the safe operation of electrical equipment.
- Stable Dielectric Constant: Its dielectric constant remains stable within a certain frequency range, which gives it an advantage in the application of high-frequency electronic equipment, being able to ensure the stability of signal transmission, reducing signal interference and distortion.
- Interior and Exterior Components: In terms of automotive interior, it can be used to manufacture components such as door handles and seat adjustment mechanisms, having good appearance quality, wear resistance, and mechanical properties. In automotive exterior, such as rearview mirror housings and decorative strips, it can resist the erosion of the outdoor environment and at the same time meet the aesthetic requirements of the design.
- Engine and Transmission System Components: It is used to manufacture some small components inside the engine, such as valve tappets and timing chain tensioners, as well as gears and couplings in the transmission system. These components need to bear high temperature, high load, and chemical corrosion, and the performance of POM Sheet can meet these strict requirements, ensuring the reliability and durability of the automobile.
- Electrical Appliance Housings and Structural Components: Manufacture the housings of electrical appliances such as televisions, computers, printers, etc., providing good mechanical protection and a beautiful appearance effect. At the same time, it is also used to manufacture structural support components and guide rails inside the electrical appliances, ensuring the stable operation and convenient assembly of the electrical appliances.
- Electronic Elements and Circuit Board Applications: Used as gaskets, card slots, and connectors on the circuit board, using its insulation performance and dimensional stability to protect electronic elements, preventing short circuits and mechanical damage, and ensuring the quality of signal transmission. In some precision electronic equipment, the high-precision processing performance and stable performance of POM Sheet can play a greater advantage.
- Precision Mechanical Components: Widely used to manufacture components such as gears, cams, bearings, and guide rails in various precision machinery. Its high-precision, high-strength, low-friction coefficient, and good wear resistance characteristics can meet the strict requirements of precision machinery for components, improving the running accuracy and life of the machinery.
- Automation Equipment and Robots: In automation production equipment and robots, used to manufacture joint components, transmission components, end effectors, etc. The excellent performance of POM Sheet helps to improve the flexibility, accuracy, and reliability of the equipment, adapting to complex working environments and task requirements.
- Indoor Decoration: It can be processed into various decorative panels for the decoration of walls and ceilings, having the characteristics of beauty and durability. Its wear resistance and easy-to-clean nature make it perform excellently in the indoor decoration of areas with high pedestrian traffic, such as shopping malls and hotel lobbies.
- Building Hardware and Bathroom Equipment: In the field of building hardware, used to manufacture components such as faucets, door handles, and hinges, having good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. In bathroom equipment, such as toilet flush buttons and shower head adjustment components, the hygiene performance and durability of POM Sheet make it an ideal choice.
- Food Processing Equipment: Due to the non-toxicity of POM Sheet, its self-lubricating characteristics, and its compliance with food hygiene standards, it can be used to manufacture components that come into direct contact with food in food processing machinery, such as conveyor chains, mixing paddles, and cutting tools, ensuring the safety and processing efficiency of food.
- Medical Devices: In medical devices, used to manufacture some components that require high precision, low friction, and good biocompatibility, such as the handles of surgical instruments, the push rods of syringes, and some components of dental equipment, ensuring the accuracy and safety of medical operations.
