Pomalux® Family
Pomalux®
Pomalux® POMC Polyoxymethylene is made from resin that is suitable for use in certain food contact applications, contact your local Westlake Plastics representative for specific regulatory declarations. Pomalux is a acetal copolymer. Pomalux® POMC has excellent mechanical, electrical, and wear properties. Pomalux® POMC is an excellent choice for many bearing and wear applications since it has low coefficient of friction and wears well in both wet and dry environments. It is widely used for assembly jigs and fixtures because of its good dimensional stability and excellent wear properties. Pomalux® POMC is often specified for electrical applications when low moisture absorption and high dielectric strength are required. Both natural (white) and black Pomalux® POMC are FDA compliant for use in food processing machinery. Westlake Plastics manufactures all Acetal extruded & compression molded sheets, plates, and rods in accordance with ASTM D6100. This specification covers requirement and test methods for the material, dimensions, workmanship and the properties of the semi-finished shapes.
