Hostaform TF-10XAP is a low emission, improved flow, impact modified POM‑C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) grade, genuinely manufactured by Celanese and imported as original product. As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine material with full traceability and direct access to official Celanese technical documentation.

This unfilled acetal copolymer is an impact modified grade providing optimum performance in general purpose injection molding, primarily for the interior automotive market. The improved flow characteristics (MVR 13 cm³/10min) enable efficient filling of complex part geometries while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.

Hostaform TF-10XAP delivers overall excellent performance with improved impact in many applications. The “XAP” designation indicates Celanese’s low emission technology, making it especially suitable for automotive interior applications with strict cabin air quality requirements. It complies with RoHS regulations.

Hostaform TF-10XAP is a very hard and rigid, heavy-metal free POM copolymer grade that exhibits outstanding chemical resistance (solvents, fuels & strong alkalis), hydrolysis resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, moisture resistance, and stress cracking resistance. It also exhibits toughness, good heat distortion temperature (75°C at 1.8 MPa), very good slip/wear properties, excellent resilience, and low moisture absorption. Available in natural and black (14 BLACK), this grade is supplied globally across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South and Central America, and Near East/Africa.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform TF-10XAP:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform TF-10XAP:

• Improved Flow Processing: With MVR of 13 cm³/10min and improved flow characteristics, Hostaform TF-10XAP is designed for efficient filling of complex part geometries. Adjust cycle parameters to maximize throughput while maintaining part quality.

• Drying: Drying is recommended at 100°C for 3-4 hours. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage, drying is necessary to prevent splay and odor.

• Low Emission Property: To maintain XAP low emission characteristics, avoid contamination and ensure proper processing conditions.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times. Max. melt temperature 200°C.

• Material Purity Requirement: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades. Contamination will degrade the impact-modified and low emission properties.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this specialty grade. Reprocessing may compromise the impact properties and XAP low emission characteristics. If regrind usage is mandatory, keep percentage below 10% and complete pre‑validation testing first.

• Storage Guidance: Store pellets in cool, dry conditions; keep sealed in original factory packaging whenever possible to maintain low emission characteristics.
