Polyoxymethylene ( POM ) is a high-strength, relatively low-cost plastic. Acetal resins (name of the finished product formed from polyoxymethylenes) are particularly suitable for replacing precision metal parts, pipe fittings, and valve parts for hot and cold water. The use of these resins has advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages: When not reinforced, and in particular in the case of homopolymers, they become very rigid plastics, they also have good mechanical resistance and hardness, as well as dimensional stability as they absorb little humidity.
Disadvantages: The most important limitation of use is the easy combustion, with the production of toxic fumes. Unstabilized products are also attacked by UV rays.
These products are designed for water, food fluids and compressed air. They can also be used for vacuum. Other fluids following chemical compatibility.

Simple movements allow for quick insertion and removal of the tube, saving time and costs. The material is non-toxic and is approved by NSF and ACS.
Operating temperature: -20°C to 98°C (dry air 1°C to 98°C) **Please note that NSF standards only cover the temperature range of 1°C to 70°C.
System performance always depends on the fittings, hoses and possible other items and accessories used.It is the user's responsibility to cross-check the technical characteristics of the individual components in order to avoid possible leaks and dangers.
