POM has low hygroscopicity, so the resin generally does not need to be dried before processing. If necessary, it can be dried at 90 ~ 100℃ for 2 ~ 4h hours.
The melt viscosity of polyoxymethylene is sensitive to shear rate. Therefore, in order to improve the melt fluidity, not only the temperature can be increased, but also the injection rate and pressure can be increased.
POM is a kind of heat-sensitive plastic, which will decompose seriously at 240℃. At 2 10℃. Stay time can't exceed 20min；; Even at 190℃, the residence time should not exceed1h. In injection molding, the lower molding temperature and shorter heating time should be selected as far as possible on the premise of ensuring the fluidity of materials.
POM has obvious melting point, * * poly POM is 165℃, and homopolymer POM is 175℃. During molding, the barrel temperature distribution is: front section 190 ~ 200℃, middle section 180 ~ 190℃, rear section 150 ~ 180℃, and nozzle temperature170. For thin-walled products, the cylinder temperature can be appropriately increased, but it cannot exceed 2 10℃.
The mold temperature is usually controlled at 80 ~ 100℃, and it can be increased to 120℃ for thin-walled products with long flowing distance and complex shape. Increasing the mold temperature is beneficial to melt flow, avoiding the defects of products caused by too fast cooling rate, improving the impact strength of products, and improving the molding shrinkage.
Injection pressure has little effect on the mechanical properties of POM products, but it has great influence on the fluidity of melt and the surface quality of products. Injection pressure mainly depends on product shape, wall thickness, mold cycle, gate size and mold temperature. For products with small gate, thin wall, long flow distance and large area, the injection pressure is high, between 120 ~ 140 MPa; For products with large gate, thick wall, short flow distance and small area, the injection pressure is 40 ~ 80 MPa and the average product is about 100MPa. Properly increasing injection pressure is beneficial to improve melt fluidity and product surface quality, but too high pressure will cause product overflow.
Due to the high crystallinity and large volume shrinkage of POM, in order to prevent defects such as cavities and dents, it is necessary to have enough heat preservation time for feeding. Generally speaking, the thicker the product, the longer the heat preservation time.
The injection rate depends on the wall thickness of the product. Thin-walled products should be injected quickly to avoid premature solidification of melt; Thick-walled products should be injected slowly to avoid splashing and affecting the appearance and internal quality of the products.
In order to eliminate residual internal stress and reduce later shrinkage, heat treatment is usually needed. Heat treatment takes air or oil as medium, the temperature is 120 ~ 130℃, and the length of time depends on the wall thickness of the product; Generally, when the wall thickness increases by 1mm, the annealing time increases by about 10min. The effect of heat treatment can be judged by polar solvent impregnation method; Soak the heat-treated product in 30% hydrochloric acid solution for 30 minutes. If there is no crack, it shows that the residual internal stress in the product is small and the treatment purpose is achieved.
POM plastics will degrade when heated above a certain temperature or at the processing temperature for a long time, releasing a lot of harmful formaldehyde gas, which will not only affect the product quality, corrode the mold and endanger human health, but also cause production accidents such as explosion due to gas expansion in the barrel. Therefore, in addition to strictly controlling the molding process conditions, we should also pay attention to the following points:
① Strictly control the forming temperature of POM and the residence time of materials in the barrel;
(2) When the temperature rises before driving, preheat the nozzle first, and then heat the barrel;
(3) When processing POM, if there are materials with processing temperature exceeding POM in the barrel, PE should be used as the cleaning machine barrel for cleaning materials first, and then the PE cleaning machine barrel should be used once when the temperature drops to the processing temperature of POM, and then the material is fed for molding operation;
(4) In the molding process, if the product is found to have severe pungent formaldehyde smell and yellow-brown stripes, it means that the material has been degraded. At this time, the materials in the barrel should be emptied immediately by injecting into the air, and the barrel should be cleaned with PE, and then processed after it is normal;
⑤ Some materials or additives (such as PVC, halogen-containing flame retardant, etc.). ) can promote the degradation of POM, so it must be strictly separated and not allowed to mix with each other.
Polyoxymethylene, also known as polyoxymethylene, is called POM in English. Regular molecular structure and crystallinity make it have excellent physical and mechanical properties, and it is called metallic plastic. POM is a kind of milky white crystalline linear thermoplastic resin, which has good comprehensive properties and colorability, high elastic modulus, high rigidity and hardness, and its specific strength and stiffness are close to those of metal. Excellent tensile strength, bending strength, creep resistance and fatigue resistance, repeated impact resistance and unloading recovery; Low friction coefficient, wear resistance, good dimensional stability, good surface gloss, high viscoelasticity and excellent electrical insulation, and is not affected by temperature; Good insulation resistance, not affected by humidity; Excellent chemical resistance: stable to other chemicals except strong acids, phenols and organic halides, and good oil resistance; The mechanical properties are less affected by temperature and have higher thermal deformation temperature. Disadvantages are poor flame retardancy, slow combustion in case of fire, low oxygen index, and even adding flame retardant can not meet the requirements. In addition, the weather resistance is not ideal, and stabilizers should be added for outdoor applications.

High specific gravity
Anisotropic shrinkage
Moldability is difficult.
Polyacetal (POM) is hard, creep-resistant and strong. Has a low friction coefficient. It can also maintain stability at high temperature and provide excellent stability in hot water environment.
They are not actually affected by strong alkali, but will be eroded by strong inorganic acids.
The flexural modulus of 40% glass fiber reinforced polyacetal (POM) is1.6 psi×10e6 (11024 MPa), and the thermal deformation temperature is 330 degrees Fahrenheit (166 degrees Celsius).
Compared with polyoxymethylene, polyoxymethylene has higher crystallinity, better mechanical strength, rigidity and thermal deformation temperature. * * Polyformaldehyde has low melting point, good thermal stability, chemical resistance, fluidity and processability. The newly developed products have ultra-high fluidity (rapid prototyping), impact resistance and reduced mold deposition grade, as well as inorganic filling and reinforcement grade.
The water absorption of POM is more than 0.2%, and it should be pre-dried before molding. The melting temperature of POM is close to the decomposition temperature, and its formability is poor. Injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, rotational molding, welding, bonding, coating, printing, electroplating, machining and injection molding are the most important processing methods. The molding shrinkage is large, so the mold temperature should be higher, or annealing should be carried out, or reinforcing materials (such as alkali-free glass fiber) should be added.
POM has high strength and light weight, and is often used to replace non-ferrous metals such as copper, zinc, tin and lead. Widely used in industrial machinery, automobiles, electronic appliances, daily necessities, pipelines and accessories, precision instruments, building materials and so on.
