The polyoxymethylene polymer composition is comprised of a polyoxymethylene polymer and at least one tribological modifier. The tribological modifier may comprise at least one tribological modifier comprising an ultra-high molecular weight silicone having a kinematic viscosity of greater than 100,000 mm2 s?1. The composition may exhibit a dynamic coefficient of friction against a counter-material of from about 0.01 to about 0.15. The polyoxymethylene polymer compositions provide polymer articles with improved tribological properties and mechanical properties.

Abstract: A melt-extrudable polymer composition that contains a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, non-metallic filler, and metallic filler is provided. The composition is particularly well suited for forming cooking articles (e.g., cookware, bakeware, etc.). When incorporated into such an article, for instance, the metallic filler in polymer composition can be readily detected (e.g., by a metal detector), which in turn allows any foodstuffs prepared with the article to be tested for possible contamination. In addition, the specific nature of the liquid crystalline polymer and relative concentration of the non-metallic and metallic fillers are also selectively controlled so that the resulting composition can possess a relatively high degree of melt viscosity and/or melt strength, which allows the composition to better maintain its shape during melt extrusion.

Abstract: A two component polyoxymethylene based system is disclosed. The two component system is comprised of a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer. The first polymer layer is comprised of a polyoxymethylene polymer composition comprising a polyoxymethylene polymer and optionally a tribological modifier. The second polymer layer is comprised of a second polymer composition comprising a liquid crystalline polymer, a polyarylene sulfide polymer, or a combination thereof and at least one tribological modifier. The compositions provide polymer articles, such as conveyor components, with improved tribological properties.
