POM Profiles
POM Polyacetal (Delrin) Rectangular Solid Profiles are a form of Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as Delrin, that is molded into a rectangular shape. Like other forms of Delrin, these profiles offer the same outstanding mechanical properties but are specifically designed for applications where the rectangular form factor is needed for structural purposes or to fit into pre-defined spaces.
Key Features
High Strength and Stiffness: Delrin / POM is known for its excellent mechanical strength, and rectangular profiles maintain this characteristic, offering high rigidity and durability under stress. They can withstand heavy loads without bending or deforming
Low Friction: Like other forms of Delrin / POM, rectangular solid profiles have a low coefficient of friction, making them ideal for use in sliding or moving parts
Wear Resistance: Delrin / POM rectangular profiles are highly resistant to wear and tear, making them perfect for components that will be in constant motion or subject to repeated mechanical stresses
Dimensional Stability: Delrin / POM rectangular profiles maintain their shape and size even when subjected to varying temperatures or mechanical stresses. This ensures consistent performance over time
Chemical Resistance: These profiles offer excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, including oils, solvents, acids, and bases. This makes them suitable for use in challenging environments, such as automotive, chemical processing, and food industries
Electrical Insulation: Delrin / POM has excellent electrical insulating properties, so these rectangular profiles are often used in electrical and electronic applications
Thermal Stability: While Delrin / POM performs well in moderate temperature ranges, it is typically stable up to around 90°C to 120°C (194°F to 248°F), depending on the specific grade
Machinability: Delrin / POM rectangular profiles are easy to machine and customize into various shapes or sizes, making them suitable for custom-engineered parts and components
Lightweight: Delrin / POM’s lightweight nature makes these rectangular profiles ideal for applications where weight reduction is important
Common Applications
Mechanical Parts
Gears, Bearings, and Bushings: Delrin / POM is often used for making gears, bearings, and bushings that require high strength, wear resistance, and low friction. The rectangular profile is suitable for producing parts that require specific geometric shapes
Pulleys and Rollers: Rectangular profiles can be used to produce pulleys and rollers that will handle high loads and maintain low friction
Machine Components: Custom machine parts and mechanisms can be created from Delrin / POM rectangular profiles for improved wear resistance and strength
Automotive Industry
Fuel System Components: Delrin / POM rectangular profiles are commonly used to manufacture components for automotive fuel systems, such as fuel pumps, fuel injectors, and valves due to their chemical resistance

Food and Beverage
Processing Equipment: Delrin / POM profiles are used in food processing systems for parts that are exposed to repetitive mechanical movements and need to resist wear and corrosion
Conveyor Systems: Due to their low friction, Delrin / POM rectangular profiles can be used to create parts for conveyor systems in food production, offering long-lasting performance
Industrial and Manufacturing
Machine Parts and Mechanisms: Custom components made from Delrin / POM rectangular profiles can be used in machinery, such as cams, housings, or slide rails
Conveyor Systems: Delrin / POM's low friction and wear resistance make it ideal for creating components in industrial conveyor systems that carry materials in factories
Consumer Products
Sports Equipment: Delrin / POM profiles are also used in sports equipment for their durability and wear resistance, such as parts in exercise machines, bicycle components, and even in recreational vehicles
Advantages
Customizability: The rectangular shape allows these profiles to be easily integrated into a wide variety of applications where other shapes (such as round or square) might not be ideal
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Delrin / POM profiles are known for their high strength despite being lightweight, making them perfect for applications where minimizing weight is important
Precision and Durability: The high precision of Delrin / POM's manufacturing, combined with its durability, ensures long-lasting performance, even in dynamic and demanding environments
Low Friction and Wear Resistance: Delrin / POM profiles maintain low friction, which reduces wear in mechanical systems, extending the life of moving parts and components
Chemical and Environmental Resistance: The ability of Delrin / POM profiles to resist chemicals, moisture, and environmental conditions makes them ideal for industries such as automotive, food processing, and medical
Cost-Effective and Efficient: Delrin / POM profiles are often cost-effective for creating high-performance parts that would otherwise require more expensive or heavy-duty materials
