About Kolon Plastics Kolon Plastics-Growing with our customers as a POM Global Leader Kolon Plastics was established in March 1996 as a joint venture between Kolon Industries Inc. in Korea and Toray Industries Inc. in Japan. Production began in 1998 with capacity and sales of 25,000MT/year. After the 2nd factory line was completed, we produce 57,000MT of POM and 50,000MT of the other compouding materials a year. As a specialist POM manufacturer with the engineering plastics technology. Ourpriority is to create customer solutions and to grow with our customers as a POM global leader. Our management philosophy, which has been inherited from our parent company, emphasizes the role and social responsibility of the enterprise as well as an enlightened attitude toward each member of our organization. Be an unflinching industrialist Kolon Plastics has an unflinching spirit as a member of industry and constantly tries to contribute to industrial development. With efficiency and originality Kolon Plastics management standard attaches great importance to efficiency and originality. A place to realize each individual’s potential We help our members to improve their ability and try to make the organization a fruitful workplace. Contribution to affluent human life and development of mankind This is our ultimate goal. KOCETAL Introduction of KOCETAL® ® POLYOXYMETHYLENE ® What is KOCETAL - POM ? Engineering Plastic KOCETAL refers to polyacetal resin of a copolymer type, And is a material of an excellent quality with features of excellent anti- friction/anti-wear, ® chemical-resistance, heat-resisting stability, precise dimensions KOCETAL and molding abilities. It is mainly applied in gear or roller, and is POLYOXYMETHYLENE 2 used for various 3 Engineering Plastic purposes over the fields of cars, office equipment and living materials. Properties of KOCETAL® - POM? Mechanical Themal Chemical Weatherability property property resistance Mechanical property The resin is highly crystalline, and has a great combination of toughness and rigidity. It is also resistant to fatigue, creep, and to abrasion thanks to abrasion thanks to its property of self-Iubrication. Thermal property Heat deflection temperature under Ioad and deterioration are other properties to ve considered with polymer. Amorphous resin deflects over the heat deflecton temperature, but polyacetal that is crystalline, doesn’t deflect a lot even over the heat deflection temperature. Thus, the limit of temperature should be considered after calculating the amount of creep deflection, depending on the design requirement. The estimated life of resin can be extrapolated by temperatured with polymer. Amorphous resin deflects over the heat deglection temperature, but polyacetal that is crystalline, doesn’t deflect a lot even over the heat deflection temperature. Thus, the limit of temperature should be considered after calculating the amount of creep deflection, depending on the design requirement. The estimated life of resin cam be extrapolated by measyring the change of property by temperature and using Arrhenius Plot. Because thermal stability of acetal copolymer resin cam be improved by addition df stabilizer, each grade shows different theramal stability. Homopolymer is more easily deteriorated than copolymer. Introduction of KOCETAL® Properties of KOCETAL® - POM? Chemical resistance The chemical resistance of a resin cam be judged by examining the solubiltity to chemicals, the increase of weight through absorption, and the influence pf chemicals on creep fracture. Polyacetal isn’t penetrated by organic solvents due to its crystalline property, but gains its weight slightly to aromatic, chlorine, ketonic, and ester solvents, which can change its mechanical property and size. Exceptionally, hexafluoroacetone dissolves polyacetal. Polyacetal is resistant to gasoline and lubricant, but if acid additive is used to improve the performance, it may become less resistant. Copolymer is resistant to alkali, but homopolymer is mot resistant to alkali chemicals. Polyacetal is generlly resistant to inorganic chemicals, but can be penetrated by ZnCL2 depending on temperature and concentration. The life of resin should be decided by considering the concentration of chemicals and temperature. In case pf resistance to hot water, homopolymer has fairly shorter life tham copolymer THe life of resin should be decided by concentration of chemicals and temperature. In case of resistance to hot water, if used for one year, the limit of temperature for copolymer is 90℃, and is 65℃ if used for ten years. Due to its chemical structure, homopolymer has fairly shorter life tham copolymer Weatherability Polycetal resin is not resistant to ultraviolet, but can be improved by addinf light stabilizer and ultraviolet absorber. The resistance to ultraviolet can be enhancedby staining carbon black and using proper pigment. However, in case of exterior use, the resin can be deteriorated by ultraviolet and ingluenced by SOx, NOx, ozone, etc. Therefore, serious consideration is needed for weatherability. The accelerated weather resistance test is cattied out by using Weather-OoMeter, Xenon arc, Fade-O-Meter. Good result doesn’t guarantee any crack or discoloration caused by exterior conditions.
