Polyoxymethylene (POM) Testing Instruments

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is an engineering thermoplastic used in making parts that require high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. POM has high strength, hardness and rigidity. POM is opaque white because of its high crystalline composition but can be produced in a variety of colors. The main uses of injection-molded POM are high-performance engineering products such as small gear wheels, eyeglass frames, ball bearings, ski bindings, fasteners, gun parts, knife handles, and lock systems. The material is used in the automotive and consumer electronics industry. It is a thermoplastic used for its high flexural and tensile strength, stiffness, hardness, and low creep under stress. Parts in the transportation industry such as fuel pump and filter housings, cooling-fan parts, fuel caps, door handles, cranks of sliding sunroofs, windshield wiper clips and household appliances and tools such as food mixer parts, water sprinkler nozzles, showerheads, furniture joints and drawer runners, parts in espresso and coffee-making machines, knife and tool handles. Manufacturers use several testing instruments to test the quality, Polyoxymethylene (POM) Testing Instruments is one such instrument for testing the quality of POM.
