描述
Hostaform C 13021 FC POM is a food-contact compliant polyoxymethylene copolymer resin developed by Celanese for precision injection molded components requiring high stiffness, excellent toughness, dimensional accuracy and reliable long-term performance. This grade is based on the proven Hostaform C 13021 POM platform and provides the same balanced combination of mechanical strength, wear resistance, chemical resistance and processing stability while meeting food-contact requirements.
POM materials are widely used in engineering applications because of their low friction properties, excellent fatigue resistance, high hardness and stable mechanical performance. Hostaform C 13021 FC provides a strong balance between rigidity and toughness, making it suitable for precision parts requiring tight tolerances and long service life.
The copolymer structure of Hostaform POM provides excellent resistance to hydrolysis, thermal degradation and oxidative aging. Compared with many engineering plastics, this material maintains stable dimensions under humid environments and repeated mechanical loading.
Hostaform C 13021 FC offers excellent resistance to solvents, fuels, lubricants and strong alkalis. These properties make it suitable for automotive, industrial and food-contact components where exposure to chemicals or cleaning agents may occur.
The material provides good flow characteristics for injection molding. With an MVR of approximately 13 cm³/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg), it supports efficient processing of precision molded components and complex geometries.
Compared with standard engineering plastics, Hostaform C 13021 FC provides excellent wear resistance and low friction performance, making it suitable for moving components such as gears, bearings, rollers and sliding parts.
Typical applications include food-contact components, precision mechanical parts, automotive components, electrical components and household appliance parts. Its combination of regulatory compliance, mechanical performance and processing reliability makes Hostaform C 13021 FC a versatile engineering plastic solution.
