POM Floor Sweep

POM Floor Sweep refers to waste material collected during the processing, handling, or cleanup of Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as Acetal or Polyacetal. This material is gathered from production floors in the form of mixed scraps, powder, dust, or small pieces. While not as pure as regrind or purge, POM Floor Sweep remains a valuable secondary raw material for recycling, blending, or downcycling applications, offering an economical solution for industries focused on cost reduction and sustainability.

Our Quality Assurance and Shipping Process

Material Guarantee We assure you that the material will meet the specifications of the loading pictures and the sample provided prior to shipment. Customer satisfaction and transparency are our top priorities.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Quality Inspection:
• Before finalizing the shipment, our Quality Control (QC) team conducts a thorough inspection of the material to ensure it meets the agreed-upon standards.
• Detailed videos and pictures of the material are captured during the inspection and shared with the customer for approval.
2. Container Booking:
• Once the customer approves the material, a container is booked on the next available vessel to ensure prompt delivery.
• The booking details, including the shipping schedule, are shared with the customer for tracking purposes.
3. Loading and Documentation:
   • Material condition
   • Loading procedure
   • Container and seal numbers
• The material is carefully loaded into the container.
• During loading, we document the entire process with pictures and videos, capturing essential details such as:
• These visuals, along with the draft of the Bill of Lading (BL), are shared with the customer for verification.
4. BL Draft Confirmation:
• The customer reviews and confirms the BL draft.
• Based on the confirmation, the Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is issued.
• A copy of the OBL is then shared with the customer.

Appearance:

• Collected in mixed and irregular forms such as flakes, shavings, powder, or small offcuts

• Colors: white.

• May contain traces of dust, fines, or minimal contamination from handling

Key Properties:

• Base Polymer: POM (Polyoxymethylene) – Known for high stiffness and strength

• Good Dimensional Stability – Retains balance of strength and rigidity even after collection

• Thermal Resistance – Can tolerate typical reprocessing temperatures (around 180–220°C)

• High Surface Hardness & Wear Resistance – Core POM properties remain intact

• Recyclability – Can be cleaned, reprocessed, and blended with virgin or recycled polymers

Applications:
POM Floor Sweep is primarily used as a feedstock for recycling rather than direct processing into high-performance parts. Typical applications include:

• Reprocessing into Regrind or Pellets after cleaning and filtration

• Blending with Virgin POM to reduce material costs in non-critical applications

• Industrial Components – Bushings, rollers, housings, machine parts (low-cost grade)

• Consumer Products – Low-spec hardware items, furniture fittings, packaging accessories

• Downcycling Uses – For products where surface finish and purity are less critical

Advantages of Using POM Floor Sweep:

• Cost-Effective Material Source – Offers significant savings compared to virgin POM

• Eco-Friendly – Supports recycling efforts by reducing polymer waste

• Versatile – Can be processed into regrind, compounded, or used in blends

• Retains Core Mechanical Properties – Despite being floor-collected, the base POM polymer remains durable
