What is POM Plastic?
Polyoxymethylene (POM), so we also known as acetal (polyacetal / polyformaldehyde), it is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability.
POM plastic is used to produce high precision parts thanks to high lubricity.
