TECAFORM AD und AH
To address the wide-ranging different requirements occurring
in industry, a wide range of materials is available
which are adjusted to suit specific application conditions.
Products are available for use in the food, drinking water,
pharmaceutical and medical technology industries and also
for sliding applications. Also available are materials required
to comply with safety and explosion protection requirements,
and products for consumer protection in the
manufacture of foods and pharmaceuticals.

Application examples
POM with its broad type diversity is an engineering plastic
for wide-ranging universal applications in many different
branches of industry, also as a substitute for metal.
Comprehensive use for sliding applications, excellent design
solutions with snap fastenings, sliding parts such as
bearing bushes, rollers, slide rails, electrical insulating
parts, components with contact to water, various fixture
components with sliding function, scratch proof high-gloss
exposed parts, wide range of components in the food, pharmaceutical
and drinking water industries and in medical
technology

Summary
The two basic types are differentiated in the main by only a
few underlying criteria:
ˌˌPOM-H (homopolymer) has a high melting point and
higher strength, but is sensitive to hydrolysis with
continuous exposure to hot water over 60 °C and steam.
ˌˌPOM-C (copolymer) has slightly lower strength but
better toughness, better resistance to alkalis and good
hydrolysis resistance to hot water and steam.
ˌˌPOM-C can be manufactured in larger, thicker-walled
semi-finished product dimensions.
