Issue 40/2014 - Flame retardant antistatic POM project acceptance

The high-performance modified POM project jointly undertaken by Henan University and Kaifeng Longyu Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
has recently passed the final acceptance
organized by Henan Energy and Chemical Industry Group Research Institute.
The acceptance experts spoke highly of the project research and development work, and suggested that the relevant technical solutions be further improved to achieve commercialization
as soon as possible.

POM is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, with metal-like hardness, strength and rigidity, good self-lubrication, fatigue resistance and chemical resistance over a wide range of temperatures and humidity, and is replacing some markets
traditionally occupied by metals.
However, POM is easy to burn, sensitive to processing temperature, low stability, easy to decompose and irreversible after heating, in addition, POM is also easy to accumulate dust and charge, which greatly limits its application field
.

With the increasingly fierce market competition, developed countries have launched modified POM products to seize the high-end market, which has caused a great impact
on China's POM industry.
In October 2011, Henan University and Henan Energy and Chemical Industry Group Co.
, Ltd.
signed a high-performance flame retardant and antistatic POM technology research and development contract to carry out flame retardant and antistatic modification research on the current problems in the application of POM, so as to expand the application of POM new fields and enhance the independent innovation ability of enterprises and the market competitiveness
of products.
