Plastic DURACON POM (polyoxide), due to its outstanding mechanical properties and processing performance, has become an important material for many high-precision and wear-resistant parts, and its application fields are very wide. The following is a detailed introduction to its main application fields:
Automotive industry
DURACON POM plays an indispensable role in the automotive field. Due to its high rigidity, excellent wear resistance and excellent chemical stability, it is often used to manufacture high-load and high-precision parts, such as:
Gear and transmission system components
Bearings, bushings and other moving parts
Valves and fuel system components
These components require the material to maintain dimensional stability and excellent friction performance during long-term use, and POM just meets this demand.
Precision machinery and engineering equipment
In the field of machinery that requires high precision and stability, DURACON POM is an ideal choice for its good processing performance and low friction coefficient:
Micro parts and precision connectors
Precision guides, seals and lining parts
Injection molding components with complex shapes
For some mechanical equipment that requires high dimensional accuracy and repeatable positioning accuracy, POM can effectively reduce the error accumulation caused by long-term friction and wear.
Electronic and electrical fields
DURACON POM is also widely used in the field of electronic and electrical appliances. These parts usually have high requirements for the chemical corrosion resistance and heat resistance of the material:
Precision parts in electronic instruments
Connector housings and fixings
Structural parts of controllers and sensors
In addition, POM's good insulation makes it more suitable for electronic product packaging and housing design.
Industrial equipment and consumer electronics
In industrial equipment and consumer electronics, POM is often used to manufacture various housings, external moving parts and small mechanical components:
Structural brackets of automated machinery
High-precision transmission parts
Daily electrical appliance parts, such as gears and slide rails of power tools
These applications rely on POM's wear resistance, self-lubrication and excellent anti-aging properties to ensure long-term and stable operation of the product.
Other fields
In addition to the above main application areas, DURACON POM is also used in:
Medical devices (under the premise of meeting relevant biocompatibility and hygiene standards)
Precision mechanical parts in office equipment and daily consumer products
Mold manufacturing and some special engineering materials as a lightweight and high-strength alternative
Main performance advantages
High mechanical strength and rigidity: ensure that the parts will not produce obvious deformation when running under high load.
Excellent wear resistance and low friction coefficient: suitable for friction pair structural parts, such as gears, sliding bearings, etc., to extend the service life.
Excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance: stable in a variety of chemical environments, not easily corroded by most solvents and oils.
Good processing performance: suitable for injection molding and machining, and can manufacture precision parts with complex structures.
Summary
DURACON POM is widely used in automobiles, precision machinery, electronic appliances, industrial equipment, and some medical and daily consumer products with its excellent performance. Its high wear resistance, low friction, chemical stability and easy processing make it an ideal material choice in high-demand application scenarios. Understanding the application characteristics of these fields can help engineers and designers better select materials in product development and ensure the superior performance and durability of the final product.
