When you need injection-moulded plastic parts with high durability and low friction, you should consider injection moulding with POM (polyoxymethylene), which is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic.
Injection moulding with POM is ideal for technical parts such as gears, bearings, shafts and other parts that are exposed to conisderable forces.
POM is particularly suitable for parts that require high durability, low friction and good dimensional stability. The material offers consistent performance over time and is good for both prototypes and series production.
POM is considered the spring of plastics, so injection moulding with POM is a popular choice when elastic properties are required. Its elasticity makes the material resistant to deformation under load. Its low friction prevents squeaking noises and makes it suitable for moving parts such as gears and sliding surfaces, where lubrication can be limited or eliminated.
Besides the spring properties, POM has high durability and can withstand both static and dynamic loads over long periods of time. The material's stability in terms of temperature and load makes it a strong choice for parts that must function flawlessly during continuous use.
In addition, POM has good chemical resistance to solvents and is resistant to hydrolysis as well as thermal and oxidative degradation.
POM is suitable for injection-moulded precision parts and both small and large parts with complex geometries. If high tensile strength is important, injection moulding with PA6 can also be a good alternative.
At Idé-Pro, we have extensive experience with injection moulding of plastic. We injection mould prototypes, pre-series and low-volume series and can handle practically all types of parts.
Our in-house tool factory and plastic production makes it possible to offer injection moulding with short delivery times and high flexibility. Our foundry is open around the clock and ready to injection mould your plastic parts.
Sustainability is an integral part of our production, which is why we use excess plastic and scrap from production and give it new life through compounding. With our extrusion machines, we can compound up to 250 kg of plastic per hour.
Whether you need prototypes or on-demand manufacturing, we can help you with injection moulded plastic parts in POM that meet all your requirements.
