Pomalux B by Westlake Plastics Company is a Acetal (POM) Copolymer (Acetal (POM) Copolymer) plastic material.

General Information

Product Description

Medical grade Pomalux B is made from acetal copolymer resin which allows machined products the ability to retain dimensional integrity, maintain stability in water and most chemicals at elevated temperatures. Pomalux B products are opaque and are available in a wide array of standard colors as well as on a custom basis. Recommended sterilization techniques for Pomalux B include EtO gas and steam autoclaving. Disinfectants and germicides generally have no effect on Pomalux B, however, acidic solutions can degrade the polymer.
