Polyoxymethylene (POM) is often the preferred solution for precision parts that demand high strength and stiffness, a low coefficient of friction (COF), and excellent dimensional stability. Fortunately, polymers based on polyketone (PK) offer a strong potential to replace POM by delivering equivalent performance and avoiding the toxicity issues of formaldehyde. PK materials also offer sustainability advantages over POM by emitting lower carbon emissions during polymer production.

History PET is the most common thermoplastic polymer in the polyester family. It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry. High Tenacity

Long fiber reinforced thermoplastic and short fiber reinforced thermoplastic solutions are both utilized to achieve strong and stiff, high-performing injection-moldable solutions.   At a high level, long fiber and short fiber reinforced solutions vary simply as that – fiber length within the pellets.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.
