DOCACETAL ESD
POM C, antistatic

Product features

DOCACETAL ESD is a conductive material associated with the basic POM C matrix structure, which results in a product that conducts electrical charges. Compared to native POM C, the surface and volume resistivity of the product is three to four orders of magnitude lower.

Natural

product family features

Polyoxymethylene, or POM, was first marketed in the USA under the brand name Delrin. While overseas it is mainly the homopolymer version (POM-H, POM H) that has become popular, in Europe it is the copolymer version (POM-C, POM C) that is more popular. In addition to its versatility, its ease of processing has made it popular, and over the past decade it has caught up with polyamide as one of the most widely used engineering plastics in our region. It is also known as polyacetal and sometimes even acetal for short. It is available in a wide range of sizes in sheet, rod and tube formats. Its basic colours are white, black and blue. It is also available in ELS (electrically conductive) and ESD (antistatic).

DOCACETAL ESD

Some important features

  • High strength (70-80 MPa yield strength and tensile strength)
  • Tough material, does not break (grooved Charpy: 8 kJ/m2)
  • Characterised by good fatigue strength and damping capacity
  • Relatively good slip properties (dry slip on smoothed and ground steel: m = 0.25-0.45), which can be enhanced by additives such as polyethylene and Teflon (Docacetal C + PE and Docacetal H TF)
  • Wide application temperature range: -50°C/+140°C (for short term use)
  • Does not swell when exposed to humidity (unlike polyamides), POM C version can be used in underwater mode up to 80°C
  • Can also be machined very well on automatic machines

Main areas of application

Dimensionally stable, precision parts; small gears, valve seats, springs, sliding elements, cam cams, insulating elements in the electrical industry, machine parts in permanent contact with water (up to 80°C for POM C), rollers, fasteners, etc.

Machining technology

  • Chipping (turning, milling, drilling, reaming, sawing): the most machinable plastics. Traditional metalworking tools, in some cases woodworking tools - carbon steel, high-speed steel, carbide, diamond - can be used with a sharp finish.
  • Cooling is recommended to allow high cutting speeds, e.g. v = 200-500 m/min for turning, v = 200-400 m/min for milling, v = 50-100 m/min for drilling.
  • Gluing and welding: feasible but not recommended.

Available formats

  • ESD POM rod
  • ESD POM sheet
