POM – Polyacetal
POM + PE
POM + PE is a polyacetal that contains polyethylene. This material combines polyacetal’s mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, and low water absorption with polyethylene’s low coefficient of friction and good wear‑resistance. We deliver POM + PE as plastic sheets, rods and as hollow rods.
