CEH: Polyacetal Resins

Oct 2020. Polyacetal resins, also known as acetal or polyoxymethylene (POM) resins, are important engineering resins with exceptional wear resistance and excellent chemical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties; as a result, they have replaced metals and other plastics in wear-critical applications. The automotive, consumer/appliance, and industrial sectors are the major end users of POM; together, these industries account for approximately three-fourths of the global consumption in 2020. Over the past five years, consumption of polyacetal resins has grown, with the major growth coming from Asia, driven primarily by consumption in consumer articles/appliances, electrical, and automotive application.
