POM-C
POM (polyoxymethylene), also known as polyacetal or Delrin®, is an engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical properties, high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. It is highly machinable and used in industries requiring high-performance engineering components and precision parts, such as small gear wheels, valve bodies, fan wheels, and pump parts.
In case the standard grade does not meet your requirements, we also offer reinforced or compounded POM, such as PTFE- or glass-filled versions.
Vanéflon is your partner for rods, tubes, sheets, and machined parts in fully automated production, ensuring the desired shape, tight tolerances, and high strength for every application.
