Features & Benefits

• Exceptional Wear & Low Friction Performance: The copolymer POM structure provides outstanding self-lubricating properties and an extremely low coefficient of friction, significantly reducing wear and noise in moving mechanical components.

• Outstanding Mechanical Strength & Rigidity: Featuring a high tensile modulus (2700 MPa) and high flexural strength, it can withstand heavy loads under operation without permanent deformation.

• Superior Fatigue & Creep Resistance: Demonstrates exceptionally high fatigue strength under long-term alternating loads, ensuring the long-term stability of precision mechanical structures.

• Good Processing Flowability: With a moderate melt flow rate (9 g/10 min), it offers an excellent injection molding processing window, making it suitable for manufacturing complex shapes and thin-walled precision components.

• Superior Dimensional Stability: Low water absorption and minimal sensitivity to environmental temperature and humidity ensure precise tolerance fits for high-precision parts under demanding operating conditions.

1. Automotive Industry: Extensively used in manufacturing automotive door lock systems, window regulator gears, fuel pump components, interior switches, and various high-wear connection clips.

2. Precision Machinery & Industrial Parts: Used for producing precision gears, cams, bearings, rollers, sliders, and conveyor transmission parts.

3. Electrical & Electronics: Suitable for manufacturing electrical switches, insulation spacers, coil formers, connector housings, and various micro-transmission components.

4. Consumer Electronics & Home Appliances: Used for high-end appliance internal transmission gears, printer/copier precision paper-feed bearings, and structural support components.

5. General Hardware & Auxiliary Medical Parts: Such as zipper teeth, high-end furniture slide rail assemblies, and auxiliary structural components for medical devices without strict sterile requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is pre-drying required before processing Asahi Kasei TENAC 4520 POM? What are the recommended drying parameters?

A: Although POM resin has relatively low hygroscopicity, pre-drying is recommended to prevent surface silver streaks, bubbles, or mechanical property reduction during injection molding. Recommended drying conditions: hot air circulation drying at 80°C to 90°C for 3 to 4 hours.

Q2: What are the main advantages of copolymer POM (such as TENAC 4520) compared to homopolymer POM?

A: Compared to homopolymer POM, copolymer POM offers better thermal stability, enhanced chemical corrosion resistance (stronger resistance to alkalis and hydrolysis), and is less prone to local overheating and decomposition that releases formaldehyde gas during processing, resulting in a broader thermoplastic molding window and longer mold service life.

Q3: Does Asahi Kasei TENAC 4520 POM meet relevant environmental and compliance certification requirements?

A: Yes. This original grade complies with major global environmental and compliance standards, typically meeting EU chemical control directives such as RoHS and REACH. We can provide original Certificates of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheets (TDS), and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) upon shipment to assist customers with overseas export and compliance declarations.
