- Excellent combination of toughness, stiffness, fatigue strength and creep resistance (spring material).
- Good moisture and chemical resistance.
- Useful in a wide temperature range.
- Resistant to thermal and oxidative degradation.
- Good resistance to stress relaxation.
- Good friction and wear properties.
- Low gas and vapor permeability.
- Tight tolerances and good dimensional stability of finished details.
- Qualities with different fillers and additives are available to suit different purposes.
- Attacked by strong mineral acids (pH below 4).
- Hard to glue with itself or other materials.
- Should not be used in electrical applications above + 70 ° C.
- High combustion rate, dangerous gas is formed.
Specific properties
The homopolymer POM-H offers about 10% better mechanical properties but these tend to decrease after prolonged use. In hot water or at elevated ambient temperature, the homopolymer POM-H tends to degrade rapidly.
