PRODUCT RANGE

JuraPOM®
General-Purpose and Performance-Modified POM Compounds

JuraPOM® grades provide an engineering material platform combining low friction, wear resistance, fatigue strength, stiffness, low moisture uptake, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and efficient processing. Modified solutions can address specific impact, noise, surface, UV, and processing requirements.

JuraPOM® Reinforced
Reinforced and Filled POM Compounds

JuraPOM® reinforced grades combine POM with glass fiber, carbon fiber, mineral, or other filling systems to provide increased stiffness, strength, load-bearing capability, dimensional control, and resistance to creep and deformation. Different reinforcement and filling technologies allow the material to be optimized for structural components, precision housings, gears, supports, and mechanical parts requiring controlled dimensional and mechanical performance.

JuraPOM® Tribological and Functional Solutions
Low-Friction Wear-Resistant and Customized Compounds

JuraPOM® formulations can be tailored through low-friction and wear-resistant technologies, impact modification, UV stabilization, reinforcement, conductive and antistatic packages, laser marking, color development, and other application-driven technologies.

PROCESSING

Controlled Processing for Precision Part Quality
JuraPOM® compounds are developed for stable and repeatable industrial processing. POM generally has low moisture uptake; nevertheless, clean and dry material handling, controlled melt temperature, and limited residence time are essential for protecting thermal stability, surface quality, and part performance.

Injection Molding
JuraPOM® injection molding grades are available for precision components, gears, thin-wall parts, high-surface-quality components, and reinforced structural parts. Processing conditions are selected according to modification type, component geometry, tool design, and application requirements.

Material Handling
Material should be stored in clean, sealed conditions and protected from contamination. Drying is normally unnecessary for properly stored POM unless grade-specific guidance or handling conditions indicate otherwise; the relevant technical documentation should always be followed.

Tooling and Temperature Control
Appropriate machine capability, wear-resistant tooling where required, controlled melt and mold temperatures, balanced cooling, and avoidance of excessive residence time support complete filling, surface quality, dimensional control, and repeatable production.

Grade-specific material-handling guidance, melt temperatures, mold temperatures, residence-time limits, and other processing recommendations are provided in the relevant technical documentation.
