Hostaform HL100 – High Viscosity Low Friction Wear-Resistant POM Homopolymer

描述

Hostaform HL100 is a high viscosity friction & wear polyacetal homopolymer, 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 non-silicon type special polymer modified wear-friction resistance grade for injection molding, designed specifically for applications requiring reduced wear, low friction, and low noise.

The “HL” designation indicates High viscosity + Low friction/wear, representing Celanese’s advanced homopolymer technology with enhanced tribological performance.

It offers high rigidity (2700 MPa tensile modulus), excellent toughness (8.9 kJ/m² notched impact strength), outstanding wear resistance, and low friction properties. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and bulk shipments for automotive, industrial, and precision engineering applications.

Important Notes on Typical Data:

1. Values listed are typical and based on Celanese official data sheets. They do not constitute a product specification.

2. Batch-to-batch variations may occur. Confirm properties with specific batch certificate for critical applications.

3. Final product performance depends on part design, molding conditions, and end-use environment.

4. Celanese original TDS remains the definitive reference. For detailed data, request the latest official TDS for Hostaform HL100 from our team.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

The following injection molding parameters are recommended for Hostaform HL100:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform HL100:

• Thermal Degradation: POM can decompose at high temperatures, releasing formaldehyde gas. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged residence time in the barrel. Max. melt temperature 220°C.

• Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, as this will compromise the special wear-friction properties and overall performance.

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this specialty modified grade. Re-processing may degrade the special wear-friction 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.

Hostaform HL100 FAQ

Q1: What is Hostaform HL100 and what is it used for?
A: Hostaform HL100 is a high viscosity friction & wear polyacetal homopolymer – a non-silicon type special polymer modified wear-friction resistance grade for injection molding. It is designed for applications requiring reduced wear, low friction, and low noise. It is widely used in gears, automotive door systems, bushings, housings, rollers, conveyor belts, as well as automotive interior components, industrial machinery, electrical & electronics, medical devices, and consumer goods.

Q2: What is the difference between Hostaform HL100 and Hostaform H100?
A: Both are high viscosity POM homopolymers. H100 is a standard high viscosity unfilled homopolymer with excellent mechanical properties. HL100 is a special polymer modified wear-friction resistance grade – it retains the high viscosity homopolymer mechanical performance while adding enhanced low friction, reduced wear, and low noise characteristics through non-silicon type special polymer modification. Choose HL100 when tribological performance (low friction, low wear, low noise) is critical alongside high mechanical strength.

Q3: What are the key mechanical properties?
A: Tensile modulus of 2700 MPa, tensile stress at yield of 65 MPa, nominal strain at break of 43%, Charpy notched impact strength of 8.9 kJ/m² at 23°C, melting temperature of 177°C, and heat deflection temperature of 100°C at 1.8 MPa.

Q4: Is drying required before processing?
A: Drying is not required for Hostaform HL100. However, if drying is needed (e.g., material exposed to moisture), recommended drying is 100°C for 3-4 hours in a dehumidified dryer. Maximum processing moisture content should be ≤0.2%.

Q5: What are the processing temperature parameters?
A: Optimum melt temperature: 205°C; Melt temperature range: 190-220°C. Optimum mold temperature: 70°C; Mold temperature range: 60-80°C.

Q6: What is the melting temperature of this material?
A: The melting temperature is 177°C (ISO 11357-1/-3), approximately 10°C higher than standard POM copolymers.

A: Yes, simply send your inquiry via our quick inquiry form or email us at ruiqingchem@gmail.com with your required quantity, application, and delivery address. Regular orders (1–5 tons) are typically delivered within 7–10 working days after order confirmation and payment receipt. Larger quantities or urgent orders can be discussed with our team.

Q8: What are the limitations of this material?
A: POM materials are not suitable for use with strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, or continuous high-temperature water (>80°C) . Please consult our technical team for chemical compatibility data for your specific use environment.
