Pros and Cons of POM for Injection Molding
POM is a popular thermoplastic material used in injection molding due to its excellent mechanical properties. In order to fully utilize its performance, it is essential to understand the advantages and disadvantages of POM. Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of using POM for injection molding:
Types of POM Injection Molding Materials
POM materials have broad application prospects and significant value in injection molding. With advanced equipment and years of experience, our specialists consistently deliver POM products that surpass client expectations, reflecting our mastery in manufacturing intricacies.
Delrin 100P
Delrin 100P is a general-purpose POM material known for its excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. It is easy to injection mold and provides good wear resistance, making it ideal for precision parts, gears, bearings, automotive components, and machinery applications.
Tensile Modulus: 2,800 MPa
Tensile Strain (Yield): 20 – 30%
Rockwell Hardness: M-Scale: 90; R-Scale: 115
Heat Deflection Temperature: Unannealed: 190°F; Annealed: 210°F
Delrin 100AF
Delrin 100AF is a modified version of Delrin 100P, enhanced with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) for improved low friction and wear resistance. This modification makes it perfect for injection molding applications that require reduced friction, such as bearings, bushings, and sliding parts, where long-term durability and smooth performance are critical.
Tensile Modulus: 2,800 – 3,000 MPa
Tensile Strain (Yield): 20 – 25%
Rockwell Hardness: M-Scale: 90 ; R-Scale: 115
Heat Deflection Temperature: Unannealed: 185°F; Annealed: 205°F
DuPont Delrin 500AF
DuPont Delrin 500AF is another PTFE-modified POM, offering superior frictional properties and wear resistance. It is designed for high-performance, high-load, and high-speed injection molding applications. Commonly used in gears, bushings, and industrial machinery components, Delrin 500AF excels in environments demanding both strength and low friction for enhanced durability and efficiency.
Tensile Modulus: 2,600 – 3,000 MPa
Tensile Strain (Yield): 20 – 25%
Rockwell Hardness: M-Scale: 90-92; R-Scale:115-118
Heat Deflection Temperature: Unannealed: 185°F; Annealed: 205°F
POM-H+PTFE(Delrin 500P)
This is a PTFE-enhanced grade of POM designed to provide excellent wear resistance and reduced friction. It is commonly used in precision components such as bearings, seals, and moving parts. The addition of PTFE to the injection molding process improves its performance in dynamic and high-load environments, ensuring longer service life and reliable operation.
Tensile Modulus: 2,700 – 2,900 MPa
Tensile Strain (Yield): 20 – 25%
Rockwell Hardness: M-Scale: 90; R-Scale: 115
Heat Deflection Temperature: Unannealed: 190°F; Annealed: 210°F
Surface Finishing Options for POM Injection Molding
The right finishing technique can improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and provide a smoother surface for assembly. Step up the quality of your projects today!
Polishing
Working on metal and hard plastics, our polishing uses highly efficient machinery to get our parts between Ra 0.8~Ra0.1 for a cleaner surface.
Sand Blasting
Band blasting cleans the surface of any impurities and peels coating through the propelling of blast media streams over the parts.
Laser Carving
Helpful in brand recognition or parts organization, we use laser carving that applies various printing methods during full-scale production to quickly embed barcodes, lettering and logos on the parts.
Painting
Painting involves Spray droplets can be dispersed uniformly or in fine amounts to cover a wide surface area and bring out greater color to the part.
Chroming (for Modified POM Grades)
Chroming involves electroplating a layer of chrome onto POM components, typically modified with additives. It enhances wear resistance, hardness, and aesthetic appeal while improving the part’s corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
Tumbling
Tumbling titanium smooths its surface, often resulting in a matte finish. It’s used for deburring or preparing titanium parts for further finishing or aesthetic enhancement.
Flame Polishing
Flame polishing uses a controlled flame to slightly melt the surface of POM, smoothing out imperfections and creating a high-gloss finish. It’s commonly used for clear, transparent POM parts where aesthetics are crucial.
