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. However, this semi-crystalline-engineered thermoplastic has toxicity issues due to its residual formaldehyde content, a substance of very high concern (SVHC), according to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

This article will explore how companies can find great value in adopting bio-derived alternatives. Using bio-derived alternatives can help attract and retain environmentally conscious consumers and foster brand loyalty. They are an especially effective alternative for markets and applications affected by Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) guidelines.
