Within the POM family there are two main types, POM C (copolymer) TKG AL C and POM H (homopolymer) TKG®® AL H.
Copolymers offer better abrasion resistance and better chemical and thermal properties. In turn, homopolymers have a higher crystallinity, mechanical strength and hardness are relatively superior.
We manufacture bars, tubes and plates
Polyoxylomethylene (POM-C), commonly called Acetal, is a crystalline polymer obtained from the polymerization of formaldehyde.
It is a type of engineering plastic with no additives or porosity. It stands out for its mechanical resistance, low moisture absorption, dimensional stability and good chemical resistance, as well as its ease of working with it.
It is used in various applications in different sectors.
