SABIC® POM – Precision, Strength & Dimensional Stability

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as Acetal, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic designed for applications requiring precision, stiffness, and excellent wear resistance. SABIC® POM combines a low coefficient of friction with outstanding fatigue strength, making it highly suitable for components that experience continuous movement, mechanical stress, or sliding contact.

The material offers exceptional dimensional stability, allowing tight tolerances to be maintained throughout the product lifecycle — even under variable thermal or mechanical load. Its high chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and excellent creep performance make it a preferred choice for engineering environments where durability and reliability are critical.

Typical applications include:

Automotive: fuel system components, gears, pumps, clips, fasteners

Industrial engineering: bearings, bushings, rollers, conveyor parts, precision gears

Electronics & consumer goods: zippers, hinges, appliance mechanisms, buttons, pen mechanisms

Plumbing & fluid handling: valves, fittings, flow control elements

SABIC® POM materials are engineered for smooth processing, consistent quality, and excellent long-term mechanical behaviour. Their reliability in dynamic and high-wear systems makes them a trusted solution across multiple sectors — wherever precision meets performance.
