Pomalux Acetal Copolymer

Pomalux ® is a high-performance acetal copolymer that has excellent mechanical, electrical, and wear properties. It is engineered to provide outstanding dimensional stability, even machining parts with complex geometries. Pomalux ® is an excellent choice for many bearing and wear applications since it has low coefficient of friction and wears well in both wet and dry environments. It is widely used for assembly jigs and fixtures because of its inherent dimensional stability and excellent wear properties.

Pomalux ® is often specified for electrical applications when low moisture absorption and high dielectric strength are required. Both natural and black Pomalux ® are FDA compliant for use in food processing machinery.

Advantages of Pomalux ®:

• High strength and stiffness
• Low friction
• Easy to machine
• Good dimensional stability
• Low moisture absorption
• Resists abrasive wear in both wet and dry environments
• Good chemical resistance
• Excellent electrical properties
• FDA compliant
