Maintenance And Care Tips For POM Plastic Products

1. What is POM plastic ?

 

POM plastic, also known as polyoxymethylene or acetal plastic, is a thermoplastic material that is highly durable, strong and has a low coefficient of friction. It was developed in the 1950s as a replacement for metal in manufacturing various industrial parts. POM plastic is now used in a wide range of applications across several industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods.

 

POM is a type of engineering plastic characterized by its high mechanical properties such as stiffness, toughness, and hardness at high temperatures. It has good resistance to wear, impact, and fatigue. POM plastic can be easily machined, injected, extruded, or blow-molded into complex shapes and parts. It is used in the manufacturing of gears, bearings, electrical switches and connectors, medical devices, and various other industrial and commercial products.

 

POM plastic is available in different grades depending on the application and specific properties required, including homo-polymer, co-polymer, and reinforced grades. It can be colored, textured, and molded into different surface finishes to match the needs of the application.

 

2. What are the maintenance and maintenance skills of POM plastic products ?

 

· Keep them away from harsh chemicals: POM plastic is resistant to many chemicals, but it is still important to avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals such as bleach, solvents, and acids. These chemicals can cause discoloration or damage to the plastic's surface.

 

· Avoid extreme temperatures: POM plastic can handle high and low temperatures, but prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can cause warping, cracking or other damage. Avoid leaving POM plastic products in direct sunlight or extremely cold environments.

 

· Clean with mild soap and water: To clean POM plastic products, use a soft cloth soaked in mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sponges which can cause scratches or damage to the surface.

 

· Lubricate moving parts: POM plastic is commonly used for gears, bearings, and other moving parts due to its low friction properties. However, if there is excessive friction, lubricating these parts with suitable lubricants can help reduce wear and tear.

 

· Store properly: When not in use, store POM plastic products in a cool, dry place such as a drawer or cabinet. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or with other products that may cause scratching or damage.

 

By following these simple maintenance and care tips, you can help prolong the life of your POM plastic products and ensure they continue to perform effectively for years to come.
