DURACON
POM holds about a 60% share of the Japanese POM resin market, and
roughly 30% of the global market, says Polyplastics. Noise reduction
grades account for approximately 6% of the total sales volume of DURACON
POM.
Among crystalized resins, POM is used in the majority of
gear applications instead of resins such as PA and PBT due to its
superior strength and stiffness in a temperature range of 60C to 80C
(140F to 176F), which is typical for office automation and automotive
applications.
Polyplastics' line of high sliding grades includes
DURACON (R) POM NW-02, an all-purpose material with both advantages of
PE-alloy-type and non-alloy-type grades. It is the highest selling among
the high sliding grades suitable for various conditions and
applications, and used in many industries including office automation
and automotive components.
DURACON (R) POM SW-01 is an alloy-type
grade that is suitable for high-pressure sliding conditions. It has
achieved success in the automotive industry for such components as
bearings and cams whose requirements can't be filled by conventional
noise reduction grades. DURACON (R) POM LW-02 is a non-alloy-type grade
which was recently developed to meet the more stringent requirements of
office automation component and equipment manufacturers in the areas of
wear, fatigue, and noise.
