POM GF25 NAT

Polyoxymethylene (polyacetal)

25% glass-fibre reinforced, natural colour

POM is stiff, slippery and fatigue-resistant thanks to its high crystallinity, making it the first choice for self-lubricating gears and mechanisms. Copolymer grades resist hot water and chemicals better than the homopolymer. It does not absorb moisture and stays dimensionally stable; it works well in snap-fits and latches that need spring.

Overview

POM GF25 NAT is the 25% glass-fibre reinforced, natural colour grade of the POM family in the compounds group. It is used in applications such as gears, cams and mechanism parts, zippers, clips and buckles, fuel-system and pump parts. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Gears, cams and mechanism parts
  • Zippers, clips and buckles
  • Fuel-system and pump parts
  • Tap, valve and water-meter parts

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for POM GF25 NAT are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site.
