描述
Hostaform C 9021 M is a molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) modified tribological POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) injection molding material, genuinely manufactured by Celanese and imported as original product. We supply this grade as an authorized distributor / trader, ensuring full traceability and access to official Celanese technical documentation.
This grade is specifically modified with molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) , a solid lubricant that provides extremely low friction and excellent wear resistance for demanding sliding applications.
The “M” designation indicates tribological modification with MoS₂, delivering outstanding slip properties, high rigidity and hardness, and excellent resistance to stick-slip tendencies.
It exhibits outstanding chemical resistance (solvents, fuels & strong alkalis), hydrolysis resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, moisture resistance, and stress cracking resistance. It also maintains toughness down to -40°C, offers good heat distortion temperature (up to 100°C), and provides higher stability to thermal and oxidative degradation compared to acetal homopolymers. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and bulk shipments for automotive, industrial, and precision engineering applications.

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform C 9021 M:
Thermal Degradation: POM can decompose at high temperatures, releasing formaldehyde gas. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged residence time in the barrel.
Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, as this will compromise the MoS₂-modified tribological properties.
Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this specialty grade. MoS₂ additives can degrade during re-processing, compromising mechanical and tribological properties. If necessary, use a very small percentage (<10%) only with prior validation testing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use sealed, original packaging when possible.
