Welcome to Ailide Polymer (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. – a professional manufacturer specializing in high-performance acetal copolymers. Our POM FM090 LV Low Odor Low Formaldehyde Acetal Copolymer is specifically designed for indoor appliances, delivering excellent mechanical strength while dramatically reducing unpleasant odors and formaldehyde emissions. With our factory located in Nantong, Jiangsu, China, we serve clients across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and more, ensuring reliable supply and consistent quality for demanding applications.
This product is the ideal choice for manufacturers of household appliances, air purifiers, coffee machines, and other indoor equipment where user comfort and air quality are paramount. By using advanced copolymerization technology, FM090 LV achieves a perfect balance between low odor, low formaldehyde content, and the robust physical properties that POM is known for. Below we detail its key characteristics and benefits.

2. Key Advantages for Indoor Appliance Manufacturers
Low Odor – Enhanced User Experience: Unlike standard acetal copolymers, FM090 LV is formulated to minimize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that cause sharp smells. This makes it ideal for devices used in kitchens, living rooms, or bedrooms where odor sensitivity is high.
Low Formaldehyde – Health & Safety Compliance: Formaldehyde is a known irritant and carcinogen. Our resin meets strict global limits for formaldehyde emissions, helping your products comply with indoor air quality regulations such as REACH, RoHS, and California Prop 65 (upon certification request).
Excellent Mechanical Properties: Despite the low emission additives, FM090 LV retains high tensile strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance typical of POM copolymers. It can withstand repeated stress in moving parts like gears, hinges, and sliding mechanisms.
Good Processability – Stable Flow: With an MFI of 9.0 g/10min, this grade offers excellent mold filling for complex thin-wall parts. It resists thermal degradation during injection molding, reducing scrap and cycle times.
Versatile Colorability: The natural (opaque white) base can be custom-colored to match your appliance’s design requirements. Contact our technical team for color matching services.
3. Technical Advantages in Detail
The secret behind FM090 LV lies in its specially selected catalyst system and stabilization package. Traditional POM polymerization often leaves residual formaldehyde and other aldehydes that release during processing and end-use. Our proprietary technology reduces these residuals to trace levels without sacrificing crystallinity or thermal stability. The result is a material that processes cleanly (less mold deposit) and performs reliably over the product’s lifetime.
For indoor appliances, this translates to fewer complaints from end users about chemical smells, especially during the initial “break-in” period. Additionally, the low formaldehyde content supports your brand’s commitment to sustainable and health-conscious manufacturing. In comparison to other low-emission plastics (e.g., some nylons or ABS), POM FM090 LV offers superior creep resistance and dimensional stability under humidity variations – critical for precision parts.
4. Applications
Coffee machine components (water tanks, valves, gear drives)
Air purifier internal parts (fan blades, housing supports)
Vacuum cleaner attachments and switches
Refrigerator drawer guides and hinges
Microfiber mop handles and spray trigger mechanisms
Electric toothbrush and hair dryer internal gears

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How does FM090 LV compare to standard POM in terms of cost?
A: FM090 LV is formulated to be cost-effective while providing enhanced low-odor and low-formaldehyde properties. The price is slightly higher than generic POM grades, but the added value for sensitive indoor applications often justifies the investment. We offer competitive pricing for bulk orders.
Q2: Can this material be processed on existing injection molding machines without modifications?
A: Yes, FM090 LV has a processing temperature range of 190-210°C, similar to standard POM copolymers. No special equipment modifications are required. However, we recommend drying the pellets (80°C for 2-4 hours) if the packaging has been opened, to minimize moisture-related issues.
Q3: Is this material suitable for food contact applications (e.g., coffee machines)?
A: Our standard grade is designed for general indoor appliance use. For specific food contact compliance (such as EU 10/2011 or FDA), please contact us to discuss optional additive packages. We can adjust the formulation to meet certain regulatory requirements upon request.
Q4: What is the shelf life of FM090 LV?
A: When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, the material maintains its properties for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture. Please refer to the product data sheet for detailed storage conditions.
Q5: Do you provide color matching services for custom colors?
A: Yes, we offer color masterbatch customization. Minimum order quantities may apply for color matching. Our technical team can work with your color standards to produce consistent batches.
Q6: How does the low formaldehyde content affect the mechanical strength compared to standard POM?
A: The reduction in formaldehyde is achieved through optimized polymerization and stabilization, without significant compromise on mechanical performance. Tensile strength, impact resistance, and stiffness remain within typical ranges for POM copolymers. In most cases, the difference is negligible for appliance components.
Q7: Can you supply small trial quantities for testing?
A: Absolutely. We can provide sample bags (e.g., 5 kg or 25 kg) for initial evaluation. Please contact our sales team to arrange a sample shipment. Shipping costs may be covered depending on the region and order potential.
Q8: What kind of certifications do you have for this product?
A: Our products can be tested against various industry standards. Specific certifications (e.g., REACH, RoHS, UL) are available upon request and dependent on the final formulation. We recommend discussing your target market requirements with our technical support to ensure compliance.
