POM-C Moly is an internally lubricated acetal copolymer formulated with molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) to enhance sliding performance beyond what standard POM-C provides. The MoS₂ additive is distributed throughout the polymer matrix, creating a self-lubricating structure that reduces surface friction and slows wear without requiring external lubrication. Ready Plastics stocks POM-C Moly sheet for motion-control, material-handling, and industrial machinery applications.
In dry-running or marginally lubricated assemblies, POM-C Moly offers measurably reduced friction compared to unfilled copolymer acetal. The MoS₂ particles act as a solid lubricant at the wear interface, supporting smooth, continuous motion and helping extend the service life of components in demanding sliding and rotating contact. This makes POM-C Moly well suited for wear pads, slide blocks, guide rails, and cam followers where component life and noise reduction are priorities.
Mechanical and dimensional performance. POM-C Moly retains the core mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and low moisture absorption characteristic of standard POM-C (Acetal Copolymer). It maintains tight tolerances in humid or variable environments and machines cleanly on conventional CNC and manual equipment. For specific property values, refer to the datasheet.
Sister grades. For applications requiring lower friction and more pronounced stick-slip reduction, consider POM-C PTFE, which uses PTFE as the internal lubricant instead of MoS₂. For impact-resistant machined parts, see POM-C MT. For ESD-controlled environments, POM-C SD provides static-dissipative properties while retaining the machinability of the copolymer base.
