Different manufacturing processes are used to produce the homopolymer and copolymer versions of POM.
Highly flammable, gives off a bluish flame and then drips and continues to burn. Smells like formaldehyde when extinguished.
The worlds first Acetal polymer was introduced in 1960 by DuPont and was named Delrin ®. It is widely used in many different applications today such as automotive, industrial, electronic and consumer goods.
Delrin® is the registered trademark for DuPont’s brand of acetal homopolymer resin which is also commonly referred to as polyoxymethylene (POM).
