Physical and chemical properties

Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal polyacetal, and polyformaldehyde,It is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. As with many other synthetic polymers, it is produced by different chemical firms with slightly different formulas and sold variously by such names as Delrin, Kocetal, Ultraform, Celcon, Ramtal, Duracon, Kepital, Polypenco, Tenac and Hostaform. POM is characterized by its high strength, hardness and rigidity to −40 °C. POM is intrinsically opaque white because of its high crystalline composition but can be produced in a variety of colors.POM has a density of 1.410–1.420 g/cm3.
Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, It is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is
produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene.
Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar. Its properties are similar to
polyethylene, but it is slightly harder and more heat-resistant. It is a white, mechanically rugged material and has a high
chemical resistance.

Nylon 6(PA6) or polycaprolactam is a polymer, in particular semicrystalline polyamide. Unlike most other nylons, nylon 6 is not a condensation polymer, but instead is formed by ring-opening polymerization; this makes it a special case in the comparison between condensation and addition polymers.
