On the applications of polyoxymethylene

I also want to learn about it; I’m waiting for someone more experienced to answer

Does anyone know what the difference between these two is in terms of their applications?

Homopolymers have high strength and perform well in automotive applications. As for durability, it depends on copolymers. Homopolymers are represented by Asahi Kasei, while copolymers are represented by Boron

Applications of polyoxymethylene: Due to its high hardness, wear resistance, fatigue resistance, high impact strength, good dimensional stability, and self-lubricating properties, polyoxymethylene is widely used in the manufacture of various structural components for mechanical devices such as gears, rollers, bearings, conveyor belts, springs, cams, bolts, as well as pump bodies, housings, and impeller friction bearings. Machine tool guides made of highly lubricious polyoxymethylene modified with polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion possess excellent stiffness and fatigue resistance, overcoming the drawbacks of pure polytetrafluoroethylene such as susceptibility to wear and creep. Moreover, they have essentially the same static and dynamic friction coefficients when in contact with metals, demonstrating outstanding self-lubricating properties. Pharmaceutical packaging machinery: conveying screws, star wheels, racks, sprockets, shims, etc. The image shows imported equipment parts manufactured by our company using polyoxymethylene. Automobile industry Polyoxymethylene is widely used in the automobile industry. Parts made of polyoxymethylene offer advantages such as reduced number of lubrication points, wear resistance, ease of maintenance, simplified design, improved efficiency, lower costs, and savings in copper usage. Using alternatives to copper for components such as half-shafts and planetary gears in cars not only saves copper but also increases their service life. In engine fuel systems, POM can be used to manufacture components such as radiator water pipe valves, radiator caps, spare coolant tanks, water valve bodies, fuel tank caps, water impellers, carburetor housings, and throttle pedals. Electronics and electrical appliances: Due to its low power consumption, high dielectric strength and insulation resistance, as well as its arc resistance, polyoxymethylene is widely used in the field of electronics and electrical appliances. Polyoxymethylene can be used to manufacture the casings of electric wrenches, electric wool scissors, coal drills, and switch handles, as well as components for telephones, radios, recorders, video recorders, televisions, computers, and fax machines, timer parts, and recorder tape holders. In other aspects, in construction: it can be used for tap handles, window frames, washbasins, water tanks, door curtain pulleys, meter casings, and pipe fittings, among others. Agricultural machinery: components of manual sprayers, connection and coupling parts for seeders, moving parts of milking machines, pump casings for irrigation and drainage, inlet and outlet valve seats, connectors, and sleeves, etc. It can also be used for the packaging of aerosols, delivery tubes, components immersed in oil, and standard resistance panels, among other things. Copolymerized formaldehyde is mainly used to make mechanical parts such as seals, gears, bearings, and valves. High-performance modified variants can be produced through methods such as blending and reinforcement. Homopolymerous formaldehyde is produced by the polymerization of pure formaldehyde under the catalysis of a BF3 ether complex, while copolymerous formaldehyde is obtained through the ring-opening polymerization of trimethylolpropane and dioxolane.
