Ⅲ. Processing Methods
Injection Molding: Suitable for manufacturing complex-shaped parts. Processing temperature: 190-240℃, mold temperature: 80-105℃, injection pressure: 100-150MPa. POM material is highly hygroscopic and needs to be dried at 80-90℃ for 2 hours before processing.
CNC Machining: Suitable for manufacturing high-precision parts. Includes turning, milling, drilling, etc. For turning, cutting speed: 50-200 m/min, feed rate: 0.05-0.2 mm/rpm; for drilling, cutting speed: 50-100 m/min, feed rate: 0.05-0.15 mm/rpm.
Extrusion Molding: Suitable for producing continuous profiles such as pipes and sheets. Processing temperature: 190-230℃, mold temperature: 80-100℃.
Ⅳ. Precautions for Use
Processing Precautions:
Temperature Control: Avoid excessively high processing temperatures, which can cause material decomposition. Temperatures exceeding 220℃ can easily decompose and produce formaldehyde. Drying Treatment: Thorough drying is essential before processing; moisture content ≤ 0.05%.
Tool Selection: Use sharp high-speed steel or carbide tools, and sharpen them regularly to maintain sharpness.
Cooling and Lubrication: Coolant must be used during processing to prevent overheating and deformation of the material.
Precautions for Use:
Avoid contact with copper: Copper is a catalyst for POM degradation; avoid using copper materials in areas that come into contact with molten POM.
Chemical Resistance: Not resistant to strong acids (especially mineral acids), not resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and not fire-retardant.
Environmental Conditions: Avoid use in harsh environments; not resistant to strong acid corrosion and has poor weather resistance.
In industrial sectors demanding reliable performance and precise design, POM+PTFE rods, with their superior self-lubricating properties, wear resistance, and dimensional stability, have become an ideal solution for many demanding applications. Whether operating continuously in oil-free environments or in scenarios with stringent standards for cleanliness and quiet operation, they provide long-term, stable performance. Proper selection and use of this material can effectively reduce maintenance frequency and extend system lifespan, making it a key material driving the upgrade of mechanical transmission components towards high performance and high efficiency.
