Homopolymer acetal — higher stiffness, hardness and creep resistance than POM-C.
POM-C copolymer and POM-H homopolymer are supplied in sheet and rod. POM-C is easier to machine with low residual stress; POM-H is harder and stiffer with slightly better creep resistance. Anti-static and FDA-compliant blue grades are stocked for electronics and food contact.
