POM LM

POM – Polyacetal

POM LM

White laser-markable POM LM (TECAFORM AH LM) is a POM-C with an additive that enables a strong contrast. In POM LM, laser markings appear in dark grey or black. The strong contrast achieved on plastics with TECAFORM AH LM’s laser marking enables the use of small fonts on smaller surfaces. Laser engraving offers a quick and cost-efficient method for marking products and making materials traceable in line with the food and pharmaceutical industry requirements. We deliver POM LM as plastic sheets and rods.
