Description
Poly Oxy Methylene (POM), also known as Acetal and Polyacetal, is an
engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness,
low friction and excellent dimensional stability. As with many other synthetic
polymers, it is produced by different chemical firms with slightly different
formulas and sold variously by such names as Delrin
Typical applications for injection-moulded Delrin (POM) include high
performance engineering components such as small gear wheels, ball bearings,
ski bindings, fasteners, knife handles, lock systems, and model rocket launch
buttons. The material is widely used in the automotive and consumer electronics
industry.
Delrin ( POM ) is commonly extruded as continuous lengths of round or
rectangular section. These sections can be cut to length and sold as bar or
sheet stock for machining.
Machining :
When supplied as extruded bar or sheet, Delrin (POM )may be machined using
traditional methods such as turning, milling, drilling etc. These techniques are
best employed where production economics do not merit the expense of melt processing.
The material is free-cutting, but does require sharp tools with a high clearance
angle. The use of soluble cutting lubricant is not necessary, but is recommended.
