Plastic Injection molding POM

What is Material POM?

POM is a type of thermoplastic that is created by reacting anhydrous formaldehyde with alcohol. The resulting hemiformal is then heated to release formaldehyde, which is polymerized by anionic catalysis. Some types of POM are polymerized, while others are not.

The physical and chemical properties of POM make it a popular choice for parts that require a low level of resistance. It is also heat resistant and does not deform easily, unlike other thermoplastic materials. It also has good electrical insulation and a low rate of moisture absorption. It is also strong enough to withstand impact and sliding.

POM is a high-volume engineering plastic with good mechanical properties and is commonly used in consumer electronics and automotive components. It is also an excellent choice for CNC machining. POM has similar properties to PP, so it is a versatile material for many different applications. It is easy to machine and has the same density as PP.

Injection Molding Material Selection

The process of plastic material selection is an integral part of the product design process. By choosing the right material for your application, you can be confident that the product will meet your expectations for quality, cost, and performance. Furthermore, you will save time and money on manufacturing because you will not have to scrap any parts.

We can offer more than 100 different thermoplastic materials. If you are looking for alternative materials, please review our resin substitution guide for ABS, PC, PP，POM,PA,PBT,PPS and other common plastics, or contact us.

How Does Plastic Injection Molding Work?

Plastic injection molding is a process in which plastic pellets are formed and injected into molds to form the desired shape. The plastic melts in a chamber and reaches a specified temperature, so the injection time has to be calculated correctly. Once the desired shape is achieved, the plastic pellets are cooled, and the mold is opened. An ejection bar is then used to force the solid plastic part out of the open cavity.
