Product Description
The matrix plastic of Kareline® POMS is co-polyacetal (POM). The fibre used is ECF bleached long fibre Nordic soft wood pulp (cellulose). The fibre content of Kareline® POMS composites is 10 - 40 weight% (for example Kareline® POMS6040, Kareline® POMS7030). Customers made grades are also available.

Kareline® POMS composites have a lot of good properties:
  • High rigidity
  • Good impact strength as natural fibre composite
  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • Good chemical and stress cracking resistance
  • Easy to machine
  • Low friction surfaces
  • Small shrinkages in injection moulding
  • Dimensional stability and absence of shrink marks
