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.
