Pom-C Esd
Pom C ESD, which is a subclass of POM (Polyoxymethylene) plastic (Acetal copolymer), is modified by the incorporation of a specific anti-static component within the structure of its components. The Advancement permits the Pom-C ESD to dissipate completely over an undesirable period allowing it to have surface resistivity in ranges from over 103 to about 105 ohms. This development is of great significance for any danger of electrostatics in solids such as electronic fixtures, molds and other components.

Pom-C Esd Properties
Mechanical Properties
- Tensile Strength: Pom-C ESD is a thermoplastic that has high tensile strength and thus good mechanical properties making the material useful in components where structural integrity is a requirement.
- Hardness: As one of the materials attention, it is because of its increased strength and hardness that results in good physical properties such as impact resistance and wear resistance.
Physical Properties
- Density: This copolymer acetal usually has a density that can be sustained due to its light weight making the manufacture and end way usage easy.
- Moisture Absorption: Pom-C ESD is low in moisture absorption reducing the instances of shrinkage problems above all enhancing the performance in a tough environment.
Thermal Properties
- Temperature Resistance: The material offers an operational temperature resistance of up to around 100 degrees celsius over an extended period, as such, it maintains its properties and does not distort under moderate thermal stress.
- Thermal Conductivity: Pom-C ESD has a moderate degree of thermal conductivity useful for applications that do not require critical heat dissipation.
Electrical Properties
- Surface Resistivity: Surface Resistivity of about 10^3 to 10^5 ohms indicates that Pom-C ESD incorporates static dissipative properties to avoid electrostatic discharge in sensitive environment.
- Electrically Conductive: The anti-static property of the material has been enabled by the inclusion of special agents and thus applicable in electric fixtures and components.
Post Treatments
Pom-C ESD can also be machined and finished to prepare precision parts for any kind of machining after the ESD and other processes are completed. Nevertheless, the method of bonding can be cumbersome due to the natural properties of the material.
Common Applications
- Electronics: Used extensively as electrical fittings and parts for dissipating static charges.
- Automotive: Very effective in high strength precision components which also possess antistatic features.
- Industrial Machinery: Applicable to the parts that come into contact with other surfaces and wear out. The mechanical and thermal effects of the said parts make them useful.
- Aerospace: Finding uses where materials that are light and dissipate static are desirable for effective performance and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is POM-C ESD and how is it different from POM-C ESD?
There are static dissipative grades PolyOxyMethylene copolymer PolyOxyMethylene POM-CESD. In contrast to conventional POM-C, this product accommodates certain chemical compounds of anti-static nature which facilitate electric conduction and make the material applicable where discharge control is necessary.
Q: What are the consistent characteristics, which bind POM-C ESD?
These are very similar to acetal copolymer but this time having the static dissipative features of POM-C ESD. It possesses high tensile strength, good abrasion and chemical resistance, and provides an antistatic effect through conductivity.
Q: Which industries primarily utilize POM-C ESD?
POM-C ESD is mostly applied in electronic and semiconductor industries and other electrostatic discharge sensitive industries due to its electrically conductive nature. It is also used in various engineering works requiring an anti-static feature.
Q: What stock shapes are available for POM-C ESD, including those with enhanced surface characteristics?
Typically, POM-C ESD is supplied in various shapes either rods or sheets. These stock shapes serve to facilitate the machining process for customization purposes towards particular specification application requirements.
Q: In what way is the electrical conduction of POM-C ESD different from that of the POM-C ESD in its natural form, particularly regarding its surface properties?
A: POM-C ESD cannot be compared to unmodified natural POM-C, which is an electrical insulator. POM-C ESD contains conductive additives that enable the static dissipative properties. Such polymers are used in equipment and devices where the control of static electricity is very important, particularly in electrically conductive applications.
Q: Is POM-C ESD machinable materials as others in acetyl copolymers, particularly those with enhanced surface characteristics?
A: Yes, POM-C ESD materials can be machined in the same way an interception acomay uphold others using electrochemical gradation, and they exhibit electrically conductive properties. It provides excellent machinability and standard CNC processing techniques may be used to manufacture complex parts and components.
Q: Are there any particular colors in which POM-C ESD material is offered, and do they affect the material's electrically conductive properties?
A: POM-C ESD is often dark black because carbon-based materials used to achieve conductivity make the formulation come out that way. Other than that most manufacturers will only provide other versions of the chemical depending on the way it is made.
Q: Where can one obtain and find instructions for POM-C ESD materials such as Sustarin® C ESD concerning their product descriptions and hardness specifications?
A: Technical specifications for POM-C ESD materials such as Sustarin® C ESD are given on manufacturer’s sites and a manufacturer’s seller can also be contacted for the same. Most suppliers provide a datasheet that includes comprehensive information about properties available for download.
Q: What is the comparative advantage of POM-C ESD over static dissipative materials such as Semitron® ESD in terms of electrical conductivity?
A: Although POM-C ESD and Semitron® ESD are both classified as static dissipative materials, the composition of the materials is different, especially in terms of their electrically conductive characteristics. POM-C ESD is an acetal copolymer while Semitron® ESD could be anything from polycarbonate to PBT, but POM-C ESD offers superior hardness. The main factors for selection of either of them lies with the application requirements, including the need for surface durability.
Q: Among various engineering applications of POM-C ESD, what are the key features and advantages, such as its hardness and surface quality, that stand out?
A: POM-C ESD has high strength, good wear resistance, static dissipative properties, and excellent surface finish. In this regard, it introduces ESD safeness in engineering applications while maintaining mechanical properties of acetal copolymer and thus is suitable for electronics and parts of machines that require such anti static properties.
