Tisaform® POM

Tisaform® POM is the registered trade mark for Polyoxymethylene-acetal compounds produced by Tisan. 

Polyoxymethylene (commonly referred to as POM and also known as polyacetal or polyformaldehyde) is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts that require high stiffness, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. Available in two structures: copolymer (POMC) and homopolymer (POMH). POM is characterized by good fatigue life, high resistance to solvents and chemicals and good electrical properties. Acetals often compete with nylons for many of the same applications.

Tisaform® POM is used where requirements for good moldability, fatigue resistance and stiffness justify its high price.

Tisaform® POM has high tensile strength, stiffness, resilience and moderate toughness under repeated impact.

Tisaform® POM has high resistance to organic solvents, excellent dimensional stability, a low coefficient of friction and outstanding abrasion resistance among thermoplastics.

Tisaform® POM, formulations can also be developed to meet specific market needs. 

Tisaform® POM is a fully recyclable material and it can be reused after regrinding. 

The user shall always verify that the compound obtained by mixing virgin and reground material is suitable for the specific application and that its properties meet the requirements.

Tisaform® POM grades can be provided fully colored in customized colors with narrow color specifications colorability even in light colors.
