Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : POM vs other plastics
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Some of the key advantages and limitations of POM compared to other plastics are highlighted below: POM vs Nylon POM has lower moisture absorption and better dimensional stability than nylon It has higher tensile strength, hardness and modulus than nylon Nylon offers higher toughness, ductility and impact strength compared to POM Nylon has better chemical resistance than POM, especially to bases, oils and greases POM provides lower coefficient of friction than nylon POM vs Polycarbonate POM has much higher strength, hardness and stiffness than polycarbonate PC offers very high impact resistance compared to brittle POM Polycarbonate has superior temperature resistance up to 140°C vs 90°C for POM POM has lower moisture absorption and better dimensional stability PC has higher ductility and fracture toughness compared to POM POM vs Polyimide Polyimide can withstand much higher temperatures than POM It has excellent strength retention at high temperatures vs POM
