Hostaform C 9021 AW XAP 2 LS Low Smoke Antistatic Wear-Resistant POM-C

描述

Hostaform C 9021 AW XAP 2 LS is a specialty POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) injection molding grade, genuinely manufactured by Celanese and imported as original material. We supply this grade as an authorized distributor / trader, ensuring full traceability and access to official Celanese technical documentation. This advanced grade combines three key properties: wear resistance (AW) , permanent antistatic performance (XAP) , and low smoke generation (LS) . It is designed for applications in electronics, cleanroom environments, and enclosed spaces where ESD protection, mechanical durability, and fire safety are critical. The material retains the mechanical strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability of standard POM-C while providing enhanced tribological performance and electrostatic discharge protection. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and bulk shipments.

Hostaform C 9021 AW XAP 2 LS Key Features

• Three-in-One Performance – Combines wear resistance (AW), antistatic properties (XAP), and low smoke generation (LS) in a single grade.

• Enhanced Wear Resistance – Formulated for improved abrasion resistance; detailed wear data available in the TDS.

• Antistatic Protection – Low surface resistivity provides stable ESD protection under normal temperature and humidity conditions. Performance at extreme conditions should be validated per application.

• Low Smoke Generation – Reduced smoke emission in thermal events; typical test data (ISO 5659-2) available in the TDS.

• Low Friction Coefficient – Self-lubricating properties reduce friction and heat generation in moving parts.

• High Mechanical Strength – Retains the stiffness, impact resistance, and creep resistance of standard POM-C.

• Regulatory Compliance – Meets RoHS and REACH requirements. Additional compliance (e.g., EN 45545, ELV) can be reviewed upon request. Full SDS available.

Material Advantages

• Wear Resistance (AW) – Provides improved wear rate compared to standard POM-C. Typical test data available in the TDS for engineering comparison.

• Antistatic Performance (XAP) – Surface resistivity typically in the range of 10⁹ – 10¹¹ ohms/sq (IEC 60093) under standard conditions (23°C / 50% RH). Long-term stability at elevated temperatures should be validated per application.

• Low Smoke (LS) – Designed to offer reduced smoke density. Typical Ds max values from ISO 5659-2 testing are included in the TDS.

• Self-Lubricating – The inherent lubricity of POM-C supports reduced friction, minimizing the need for external lubrication in many applications.

• Dimensional Stability – Low moisture absorption supports stable dimensions under varying environmental conditions.

• Batch-to-Batch Consistency – Produced by Celanese under strict ISO standards, ensuring stable properties across all shipments.

• Reliable Supply – We maintain inventory and a stable supply chain. For details on our supply capabilities, please see our company background .

Typical Properties (ISO Standards)

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 from our team.

Processing Guidelines 

Critical Processing Warnings for POM Materials:

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

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this specialty grade (AW/XAP/LS). The antistatic, wear-resistant, and low-smoke properties depend on the additive system, which can be damaged by re-processing. If regrind is necessary, use a very small percentage (<10%) only with prior validation testing.

• Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, particularly non-antistatic or standard POM grades, as this will severely compromise the special properties.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use sealed, original packaging when possible.

Hostaform C 9021 AW XAP 2 LS FAQ

Q1: What is Hostaform C 9021 AW XAP 2 LS and what is it used for?
A: It is a specialty POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) injection molding grade that combines three key properties: wear resistance (AW) , permanent antistatic performance (XAP) , and low smoke generation (LS) . It is widely used in electronics, cleanroom & semiconductor handling, automotive ESD-sensitive components, and enclosed environments such as data centers and public transportation interiors. Typical parts include IC handling guides, chip trays, sensor housings, ECU covers, gears, bearings, and anti-static fixtures.

Q2: What do AW, XAP, and LS mean in the grade name?
A: AW = Abrasion Wear (wear-resistant). XAP = Antistatic additive package. LS = Low Smoke (reduced smoke emission in thermal events). XAP 2 refers to a specific formulation of the antistatic additive system.
