POM homopolymer vs POM copolymer
POM-H: The full name is POM acetal homopolymer. It is formed by anionic polymerization of formaldehyde. A typical example is DuPont’s Delrin®. And Cylex LLC can produced Delrin® 150.
POM-C: The full name is POM acetal copolymer. It’s formed by cationic polymerization of trioxane. Cylex LLC produced the high performance ratio POM acetal copolymer.
