Hostaform C 9021 TF5 – PTFE-Modified Low Friction POM-C

描述

Hostaform C 9021 TF5 is a PTFE-modified 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 a medium flowing, low-level polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filled product, designed for use in wear applications against plastics, metal, glass or ceramic mating surfaces where silicone lubricants cannot be tolerated.

The “TF5” designation indicates tribological modification with PTFE, delivering low friction, good wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties.

It is a very hard and rigid, heavy-metal free POM grade that 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 102°C), very good slip/wear properties, excellent resilience, low moisture absorption, and 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, precision engineering, and industrial applications.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

The following injection molding parameters are recommended for Hostaform C 9021 TF5:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform C 9021 TF5:

• 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 PTFE-modified tribological properties.

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this PTFE-modified specialty grade. PTFE 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.
