5 Kinds of Engineering Plastics That POM Can Replace?

2021-11-17

In the application process of polyoxymethylene, it usually has the dual advantages of performance and cost, which makes the balance of material selection bias towards polyoxymethylene POM. Let's take a look at some of the products that POM can replace.

1. Replace polyester PBT
Polyoxymethylene performs better than PBT in some typical applications of PBT (based on better heat and drug resistance), and its electrical properties are sufficient, and the cost advantage is prominent at this time.
In high-end car applications, the cost difference reaches 20%. Therefore, in the competition between PBT and reinforced polyamide, polycarbonate and polyoxymethylene in the field of automobile manufacturing, polyoxymethylene cannibalize its market frequently.

2. Replace polycarbonate PC
In the automotive industry, PC has a long history of use in interior and exterior decorative parts, but the inherent properties of POM plus the possibility and cost difference brought by related new technologies have made it replace a large number of PC structural solutions in the category of interior and exterior decorative parts.

3. Replace polyamide PA
There are many varieties of polyamide, the application started early, and the foundation of industrial application is good. However, in a situation where POM is slightly better in terms of a series of characteristics, it does have the potential to replace nylon in many situations.
In the intake manifold, the use of reinforced polyoxymethylene instead of nylon was implemented by leading automobile companies such as BMW Ford, and other structural parts in the engine field have followed up. According to estimates, once successful, it will show a 30% cost advantage.

4. Replace polyphenylene sulfide PPS
Although PPS embodies its overall advantages over other general engineering plastics, in the actual application field, the gap between comprehensive performance and POM, as well as the specialties of POM itself, gives POM a good opportunity to enter the usual PPS. Occupied application areas.

5. Replace PTFE
Friction and abrasion properties, fatigue resistance and creep resistance, enable it to replace polytetrafluoroethylene in many applications.
The reason why polyoxymethylene has excellent prospects and can play a multi-faceted role is that it has many different uses, there are too many commercially available ready-made grade selection ranges, and the friction and wear of colors. With its excellent rigidity, creep resistance and resistance to hydrocarbons, its position in the market can be described by the word [strong".
