Polyacetal sheets and POM-C Polyacetal sheets and POM-C Polyacetal sheets and POM-C
Polyacetal Sheets (POM-C)
Discover the excellence of Polyacetal sheets, also known as POM-C, renowned for their quality under pressure and exceptional strength and stiffness. These sheets boast high rigidity (up to -40 °C) and outstanding thermal stability. With low water absorption and superior dimension stability, POM-C sheets demonstrate impressive electrical insulation and exceptional sliding properties.
POM-C Polyacetal sheets exhibit remarkable resistance to solvents and an unparalleled ability to withstand stress cracks.
