Acetal (POM) Injection Moulding
Acetal, or POM, provides excellent strength, stiffness, and creep resistance
Acetal or Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a high-performance thermoplastic well-suited for a wide range of applications due to its wear characteristics. The material offers excellent strength, stiffness, and creep resistance. We offer various grades of acetal for injection moulding, including:
- Hostaform C9021
- Lupital F20-03
