China launches anti-dumping probe on polyformaldehyde copolymer import

The investigation, which began on Sunday, is scheduled to conclude by May 19, 2025. However, the ministry's trade remedy and investigation bureau noted in an online notice that, under special circumstances, the probe may be extended by an additional six months.

Polyformaldehyde, also known as polyoxymethylene (POM) or acetal, is a highly versatile engineering polymer widely used in various industrial applications. The copolymer variant of POM offers some advantages over the homopolymer, such as increased stability in hot water and alkalis. Some primary uses of polyformaldehyde copolymers include mechanical gears where durability, precision, and performance are crucial.
