POM

Polypropylene in Injection Molding

POM, also known as Delrin, is a versatile engineering thermoplastic prized for its excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability. It is ideal for applications requiring high stiffness, low friction, and resistance to wear. POM finds extensive use across automotive, consumer goods, and industrial sectors due to its ability to maintain performance under stress.

When injection molding POM, it is essential to consider the specific properties of the available POM materials at XCD:

Dark Brown (Coffee) POM 100AF: Known for its excellent fatigue and wear resistance, this material is ideal for long-term durability and stability applications.
POM Black: Offers high strength and rigidity, making it suitable for mechanical components where structural integrity and aesthetics are essential.
POM Blue: Combines visibility for inspection purposes with robust mechanical properties, often used in consumer goods and safety-related applications.
POM White: Provides a clean, aesthetic appearance while maintaining excellent mechanical properties, perfect for medical devices and consumer products.
