Polyacetal (POM) compounds
OSATAL
Where polymer meets possibility.
POM (polyacetal)
OSATAL is compounded from polyoxymethylene and, where needed, glass fibre. It delivers high stiffness, low friction, wear resistance and low moisture uptake: the properties you want in bushes, rollers, slide rails, gears and parts in contact with water.
