White POM (Polyoxymethylene - White Acetal) is an engineering plastic with high mechanical strength, good wear resistance, and a low coefficient of friction. It is widely used in CNC machining due to its dimensional stability and good chemical resistance.
Characteristics of White POM:
Good Mechanical Properties: Hard, durable, and high strength.
Wear Resistance: Low coefficient of friction, smooth surface.
Heat Resistance: Approximately -40°C to 100°C.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils and organic solvents but not resistant to strong acids.
Easy to Machine: Dimensionally stable, less prone to deformation.
Low Water Absorption: Maintains better dimensional stability compared to many other plastics.
Good Electrical Insulation: Suitable for electronic components, not easily affected by humidity.
Corresponding Technologies:
CNC Milling: Widely used due to POM's good machinability and resistance to cracking.
CNC Turning: Suitable for machining round parts such as gears and plastic bearings.
Drilling & Laser Cutting: Enables high-precision cutting without material deformation.
