POM Materials
Looking for antistatic POM for a molded component? Start with the part drawing, sliding or fit requirements and the electrical test the finished component needs to meet.
Find a POM material for your part
Review the intended application, process and electrical target before shortlisting a formulation.
No confirmed grade is currently listed in this category.
Share the resin you use, part requirements and test method to discuss a suitable candidate.
Choose POM around the actual component
Three starting points for your material review
Electrical performance is only one part of the acceptance decision.
Part geometry and fit
Send the drawing, tolerance, mating parts, load and temperature range. Agree on measurement timing and gauge before comparing dimensions.
Sliding contact and wear
Describe the mating material, load, motion, lubrication and operating environment. Establish a part-level wear or friction test where needed; do not infer results from the base resin name.
Electrical acceptance
Specify resistance or resistivity, units, measurement method, conditioning and contact positions. Evaluate the finished component at the agreed locations.
Start with the application
These are example part geometries for discussion; grade suitability is subject to confirmation.
Precision molded components
Share the fit, dimensional checks and electrical contact positions for a functional molded part.
Explore precision partsConnect material selection to processing
Confirm the grade and its route before arranging a representative trial.
Injection molding
Request grade-specific handling and processing guidance. Review gate, part thickness and settings, then check fit and electrical results on molded parts.
Injection molding guidance
Extrusion
For profiles or sheet, share cross-section, line conditions, dimensions and electrical target. Ask for an extrusion-reviewed candidate; a molding grade is not automatically suitable.
Extrusion guidanceQuestions to review during a POM trial
Fit or dimensions vary
Part geometryWhat to check
Compare measurement locations, gauge, timing and conditioning; review tooling and process changes.
Useful records
Drawing, tolerance, gauge method, lot and measurement results.
Sliding performance differs
Contact conditionsWhat to check
Check mating material, load, lubrication and test motion before attributing a change to the material.
Useful records
Counterpart, test procedure, operating conditions and wear observations.
Electrical readings differ
Part-level measurementWhat to check
Repeat the same contact positions, method and conditioning. Confirm which electrical quantity and unit the drawing requires.
Useful records

Selecting a grade for a new part
POM · Selection enquiryWhat to check
Share the exact POM grade in use, processing route and the required electrical test. Confirm a candidate and its processing window before a trial.
Useful records
Current resin code, component dimensions and target metric with its unit.
Plan a POM material trial
Use the same part and acceptance criteria from the first discussion through evaluation.
Define the part
Share geometry, fit, mating material, load, process and electrical target.
Review a candidate
Request current grade data, process guidance and sample availability for the intended route.
Evaluate the part
Record lot and settings; check dimensions, fit, sliding behavior and electrical results against agreed criteria.
Prepare the trial record
Material and route
Identify the grade and lot, intended process and current supplier guidance.
Dimensions and sliding
Agree on gauge, mating material, load, lubrication and measurement timing.
Electrical test
Specify quantity, unit, method, conditioning, contact positions and acceptance range.
Before you enquire
Questions about POM materials
Share the part, processing route and the properties you need before choosing a trial.
Can I replace my existing POM grade directly?
Share the current grade, drawing and acceptance criteria. A candidate needs a representative processing and part trial.
Does the resin name guarantee sliding performance?
No. Mating material, load, motion, lubrication and environment all matter; agree on a relevant part-level evaluation.
How should dimensions be compared?
Specify drawing tolerance, gauge, measurement positions, timing and conditioning.
How do I compare antistatic data?
Identify resistance or resistivity, unit, test method, conditioning and locations before comparing values.
Can a molding candidate be used for extrusion?
Provide the line and section requirements and ask for an extrusion-reviewed grade.
