Hostaform CP15X – Ultra High Viscosity POM-C for Extrusion & Thick-Wall Molding

描述

Hostaform CP15X is an ultra high viscosity POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) grade, 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 creep resistant, high viscosity polymer providing excellent performance in general purpose injection molding and profile extrusion. It provides overall excellent performance in applications requiring high stiffness over time.

The “CP15X” designation indicates Celanese’s ultra high viscosity copolymer acetal, which offers very high molecular weight for superior mechanical properties in demanding applications.

It is a very hard and rigid, heavy-metal free POM copolymer grade that exhibits outstanding chemical (solvents, fuels & strong alkalis)-, hydrolysis-, fatigue-, creep-, moisture- and stress cracking resistance. It also exhibits toughness (up to -40°C), good heat distortion temperature (up to 100°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 extrusion, thick-wall molding, and demanding mechanical applications.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding & Extrusion)

The following processing parameters are recommended for Hostaform CP15X:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform CP15X:

• 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 ultra high viscosity properties and overall performance.

• Extrusion Considerations: Due to its ultra high viscosity, CP15X is ideal for profile extrusion. Adjust extrusion parameters (die design, melt temperature, draw ratio) accordingly for optimal results.

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this high viscosity specialty grade. Re-processing may degrade the molecular weight and compromise the ultra high viscosity 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.
