20% Glass Fiber (20 GF) POM-H

20 GF POM-H is a grade of POM-H. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare 20 GF POM-H to: polyoxymethylene plastics (top), all thermoplastics (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
