描述
Hostaform C 13021 LS POM is a high-performance polyoxymethylene copolymer resin developed by Celanese for precision molded components requiring excellent mechanical performance, dimensional stability and environmental durability. This grade is based on the proven Hostaform C 13021 platform and incorporates UV stabilizers and release additives to improve outdoor performance and molding efficiency. It is designed for injection molding applications where high rigidity, hardness, toughness and resistance to chemical exposure are required.
POM copolymer materials are widely used in engineering applications because of their excellent combination of stiffness, low friction, wear resistance and fatigue performance. Hostaform C 13021 LS provides stable mechanical properties under continuous loading and repeated movement, making it suitable for precision components requiring long service life.
Compared with standard POM grades, Hostaform C 13021 LS offers improved outdoor durability due to UV stabilization. This allows molded parts to maintain performance when exposed to sunlight and weathering conditions. The material is especially suitable for automotive applications where components may experience temperature changes, moisture exposure and long-term environmental aging.
The grade provides excellent resistance to solvents, fuels, strong alkalis and many industrial chemicals. It also shows good hydrolysis resistance and resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, helping components maintain reliable performance in demanding operating environments.
Hostaform C 13021 LS features good melt flow characteristics, allowing efficient injection molding of precision parts and thin-wall components. The release additive system improves demolding performance, reduces processing issues and supports stable production.
Typical applications include automotive engineering components, precision mechanical parts, electrical and electronic components, appliance parts and other engineering applications requiring high dimensional accuracy. With its combination of UV resistance, stiffness, toughness and processing performance, Hostaform C 13021 LS is a reliable solution for demanding POM applications.
