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

Processing Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommended Setting & Critical Warnings |
|---|---|
| Pre-drying | 80–100°C for 2–4 hours. Required to prevent surface silver streaks. |
| Barrel Temperature | 180–210°C (Nozzle: 190–200°C). |
| Mold Temperature | 80–100°C (Higher improves crystallinity and surface gloss). |
| Injection Pressure | 80–150 MPa (Medium-to-high for thin-wall filling). |
| Screw Speed | Medium speed to avoid excessive shear degradation. |
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.
