Usa Industrials BULK-PS-AC-684 Pom Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-AC-684 is a solid POM (polyoxymethylene) plastic bar stock cut to 48 inches in length with a square cross-section measuring 0.5 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide. POM is a high-stiffness engineering thermoplastic known for low friction, excellent dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture and many chemicals. This bar is supplied in natural (off-white) color and is ready for machining, fabricating, or use as wear-strip, guide rail, bushing stock, or structural support in light mechanical assemblies. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial environments regularly use POM bar stock as a drop-in material for precision-cut components.

This POM bar is suited for applications that require a dimensionally stable, machinable plastic with low moisture absorption. Common uses include slide bearings, spacers, rollers, guide blocks, and wear components in mechanical and fluid-handling equipment. Its natural color makes it easy to mark and inspect during fabrication. The 48-inch length provides a full 4-foot run of material, minimizing waste on typical shop cuts. Suitable for both light commercial and industrial maintenance applications where metal replacement or corrosion-free components are required.

Key Features

• POM (polyoxymethylene) material offers high stiffness, low friction, and strong resistance to moisture and many common chemicals
• Square cross-section at 0.5 inches thick by 0.5 inches wide for consistent material removal during machining
• 48-inch (4-foot) length provides a full run suitable for multiple cuts per bar
• Natural color finish allows easy layout marking and visual inspection
• Dimensionally stable under load - well suited for precision bushings, spacers, and wear strips

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose POM bar stock for fabrication and replacement component machining in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications where a machinable, low-friction thermoplastic is required.

Installation Notes

POM bar stock is typically cut and machined by fabricators or maintenance technicians using standard woodworking or metalworking saws and drill presses - carbide or HSS tooling is recommended for clean edges. Deburr all cut edges before fitting into assemblies to prevent premature wear on mating surfaces. POM does not require lubrication in most light-load sliding applications, but verify chemical compatibility before exposure to strong acids or oxidizing agents. Follow applicable facility or equipment safety procedures when cutting or drilling plastic materials.
