Product Overview:
Formosa POM FM090 is a polyacetal copolymer resin specifically developed for injection molding. Its balanced flow characteristics (MFR 9) allow easy fill of complex cavities while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. The copolymer structure provides superior thermal stability and chemical resistance compared to homopolymer grades. Key features include low mold deposit – reducing downtime for cleaning, high rigidity – ensuring part stiffness without brittleness, and wear resistance – extending the life of moving components. This grade is widely used in gears, bearings, sliding parts, automotive interior components, electronic housings, and consumer goods.

Detailed Product Features and Benefits:
Low Mold Deposit: The copolymer formulation minimizes gassing and plate-out during injection molding, reducing the frequency of mold cleaning. Customers report up to 30% less downtime, leading to higher productivity and lower maintenance costs.
High Rigidity: With a flexural modulus of 2600 MPa, FM090 offers excellent stiffness for thin-walled parts and structural components. This ensures parts maintain their shape under load, reducing the risk of warpage and improving dimensional accuracy.
Wear Resistance: The material exhibits low coefficient of friction and high abrasion resistance, making it suitable for moving parts such as gears, pulleys, and sliding guides. It outperforms many general-purpose plastics in long-term wear tests.
Excellent Processability: The 9 MFR grade provides a wide processing window, allowing for easy filling of intricate molds with complex geometries. Suitable for both standard and high-speed injection molding machines.
Good Chemical Resistance: Resists many solvents, fuels, and alkaline solutions, enhancing durability in automotive and industrial environments.
Consistent Quality: Manufactured under strict process control in our Nantong facility, each batch is tested for melt flow, mechanical properties, and color consistency to ensure reliable performance.
Customizable Color: Available in natural (translucent white) as standard; custom color matching is available upon request to meet aesthetic or identification requirements.
Typical Applications:
Automotive: Fuel system components, door lock parts, window regulator gears, seat belt mechanisms.
Consumer Electronics: Connectors, switches, printer gears, camera parts.
Industrial: Conveyor chain links, pump impellers, valve seats, bearing cages.
Household Appliances: Vacuum cleaner impellers, washing machine parts, kitchen utensil handles.
Sports & Leisure: Fishing reel gears, ski bindings, zipper sliders.
Processing Recommendations:
For optimal results, pre-drying at 80–90°C for 2–4 hours is recommended. Injection temperature profile: rear 180–200°C, middle 190–210°C, front 200–215°C, nozzle 200–210°C. Mold temperature: 60–80°C. Screw speed: moderate to avoid excessive shear. Regrind usage up to 20% is acceptable with virgin material, but properties should be verified.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between POM homopolymer and copolymer?
A1: Copolymer POM (like FM090) offers better thermal stability, lower mold deposit, and improved chemical resistance compared to homopolymer. It also has a wider processing window and reduced tendency to crack or discolor. Homopolymer typically has slightly higher crystallinity and stiffness but can be more prone to deposit and degradation.
Q2: Can FM090 be used for food contact applications?
A2: This grade is not specifically marketed for food contact. Please contact our sales team to discuss any regulatory requirements – we can provide relevant information or recommend suitable alternatives if needed.
Q3: What is the recommended drying condition before molding?
A3: Pre-drying at 80–90°C for 2–4 hours is recommended to avoid moisture-related defects such as splay marks or brittleness. If the material is stored in a dry environment, shorter drying may be acceptable, but we advise using a dehumidifying dryer.
Q4: Does this resin support color masterbatch addition?
A4: Yes, FM090 is compatible with POM-based color masterbatch. We recommend using a masterbatch with a carrier resin that matches the copolymer base. Typically, a 1–3% addition rate works well. Conduct a trial to confirm color and property maintenance.
Q5: What packaging options are available?
A5: Standard packaging is 25 kg net weight polyethylene-lined woven bags. Jumbo bags (1000 kg) or customized packaging are available upon request. Please specify your preference when ordering.
Q6: How does low mold deposit benefit my production?
A6: Low mold deposit means less residue accumulates on the mold surface during injection cycles. This reduces the need for frequent mold cleaning, extends production runs, minimizes downtime, and improves surface finish consistency. It also lowers maintenance costs and increases overall equipment effectiveness.
Q7: Is FM090 suitable for outdoor applications?
A7: POM generally has limited UV resistance without stabilization. For prolonged outdoor exposure, we recommend adding UV stabilizers or using a UV-resistant grade. FM090 can be used indoors or in protected environments. For outdoor parts, contact us for customized solutions.
Q8: Can I regrind and reuse sprues/runners?
A8: Yes, regrind up to 20% of the total shot weight can be blended with virgin material, provided the regrind is clean and properly dried. However, mechanical properties may slightly decrease; we recommend testing the final part performance before full-scale production.
