About Polyoxymethylene
POM, also known as acetal or polyacetal, is an engineering polymer. It is a crystalline thermoplastic resin that exhibits superior mechanical and physical properties, like highly crystallinity, low coefficient of friction, wear resistance, high modulus, and resistance to solvent and fuels.
POM is obtained by various processes that help in obtaining the desired shape and form of POM products.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global polyoxymethylene market to grow at a CAGR of 6.42% during the period 2017-2021.
