POM KOCETAL® K300

Additional Information

Applications

• Polyoxymethyene resins demonstrate well-balanced properties ranging for mechanical to physical and flammability performance. The key benefits of POM resins include:
• Excellent mechanical properties over a temperature range upto 140°C
• down to -40°C
• High tensile strength
• rigidity and toughness (short-term)
• Low tendency to creep (as compared to nylon) and fatigue (long-term). Not susceptible to environmental stress cracking
• High degree of crystallinity and excellent dimensional stability
• Excellent wear resistance
• Low coefficient of friction
• Good resistance to organic solvents and chemicals (except phenols) at room temperature
• Low smoke emission
• High gloss surfaces
• Low moisture absorption
• Poor resistance to strong acids
• bases and oxidizing agents.
• Burns easily without flame retardants due to high oxygen content
• Poor thermal stability without suitable stabilizer system
• Limited processing temperature range
• High mold shrinkage
• Poor resistance to UV radiation. Prolonged exposure lead to color change
