Acetal copolymer is a polyoxymethylene (POM) with a high crystallinity delivering high strength, stiffness, toughness and lubricity over a broad range of temperatures and chemical environments. The substance appears to be the polymeric form of formaldehyde [(H2CO)n], also known as polyoxymethylene, or POM. The principal polymer types covered are: polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, polyetheretherketone, polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetherimide, polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone and liquid crystal polymer. |
