POM Plastic Cord End for Home Curtains — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
POM Plastic Cord End for Home Curtains: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
POM Plastic Cord End is the version buyers specify for home curtains when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
POM Plastic gives cord end its durability under wash and abrasion. In practice that means the trim behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: shrinkage allowance has to be built into the spec. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.

- Mechanical performance — pull strength after 10 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — ISO 9001 documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.

How to specify it
