High-Performance Engineering Polyacetal & Nylon Portfolio
Direct from our Henglan Town factory base: semi-finished hollow bars, rods, and heavy machine stock for rigorous industrial duty.
Technical Superiority of POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer)
Why precision engineering departments favor POM-C hollow bars over standard homopolymers and metal alloys in hydraulic, chemical, and conveying environments.
Zero Centerline Porosity
Unlike homopolymers (POM-H) which often suffer from axial center porosity due to thermal crystallization differentials, our vacuum-assisted POM-C extrusion process guarantees a completely dense, continuous wall cross-section ideal for pressure piping.
- Eliminates internal fluid leakage paths
- Enables high-pressure dynamic sealing
- Enhances rotational balance at high RPM
Hydrolytic & Chemical Stability
Polyacetal Copolymer backbone exhibits outstanding resistance against basic solutions (alkalis), boiling water, and hydrocarbon solvents between pH 4 and 14, outperforming Nylon PA6 in wet, submerged operating zones.
- Moisture absorption lower than 0.2%
- No swelling or wall dilation in water
- Resistant to glycols, fuels, and solvents
Optimized Machining Mechanics
Extruded with multi-stage computerized thermal annealing, SHUNDA POM-C hollow stock relieves residual crystallization stresses, enabling aggressive lathe boring and external CNC milling with minimum warping.
- Chips break cleanly without gumming
- Holds sub-mil run-out across long spans
- Excellent surface finish (Ra < 0.4 μm)
