Due to its rigidity, dimensional stability, and corrosion resistance, polyoxymethylene (POM) is frequently utilised as a direct substitute for metals.
Ethylene oxide is frequently included in copolymers because it lessens the tendency for depolymerization at typical processing temperatures.
The odour is caused by formaldehyde, which is produced by polyoxymethylene. Small levels of formaldehyde may be offensive in specific applications, including closed containers, even though the odour is typically undetectable.
Anthranilic acid, aminobenzoic acid, succinimide, and low molecular weight primary or secondary amines are among the odour-reducing additives that can be used in the synthesis of low odour polyoxymethylene, according to another patent.
The combination exhibits a synergistic reduction in formaldehyde odour. A siloxane bond at the end of the polyoxymethylene can stop the polymer from deteriorating and the concomitant emission of VOC breakdown products like formaldehyde.
A joint venture between Kolon Plastics and BASF has been established in South Korea to produce polyoxymethylene (POM), an engineering plastic utilised in consumer, transportation, building, and industrial applications.
Both businesses have extensive POM production experience and will employ Kolon’s highly effective production technology to deliver a high-quality product.
The Global Polyoxy Methylene Engineering Plastic Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
