Round Rod in POM C FG 3000 mm navy blue

POM, in everyday speech acetal, is the engineering plastic that turns and mills better than almost anything else and holds its dimensions afterward. Moisture absorption in air is only 0.2 percent, a tenth of that of nylon, so a part turned to size stays at size. The material is stiff and hard, with a ball indentation hardness of 140 MPa and a tensile strength of 65 MPa, and it slides and wears well without lubrication. That is why POM is the standard choice for gears, slide strips, bearing bushings and pump parts. The density is 1.41 and the material melts at 166 degrees, takes 100 degrees continuously and 140 for short periods. It stands up to oils, gasoline, alcohol and most salts, but it does not take acids and not hot water above 60 degrees.

The letter C stands for copolymer, the POM version that takes temperature swings, hot water and alkali better than the harder homopolymer, and that is why the copolymer dominates. FG means that this particular grade is approved for direct contact with food, with a declaration of conformity that follows every production order. This is that material as a round rod in POM C FG, 3000 mm long in navy blue, a blank for turned parts in food machinery such as scrapers, guides and conveyor components. The blue color is common in the food industry, because a piece that has broken off shows up against the food. If you want the rod cut to size, add CTS to the cart.
