POM-C is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic characterized by high stiffness, toughness and excellent machinability. The material offers a combination of mechanical strength, dimensional stability and low friction, making it suitable for a wide range of precision engineering applications. Modified grades are also available, including formulations containing approximately 10% ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) to further enhance sliding and wear properties.
