Polyoxymethylene can be used in temperatures up to +100 °C. The high surface strength is only surpassed by a few materials. POM shows good sliding properties and high resistance to wear and tear because of the high strength and smooth surface. There is a very low risk of stress cracks. POM-C (Copolymer) exhibits a high thermal stability and a high resistance to chemicals (high resistance to hydrolysis).

Properties
