Hostaform C 9021 TF XAP2 – PTFE-Modified Low Emission POM-C

描述

Hostaform C 9021 TF XAP2 is a PTFE-modified, low emission POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) injection molding material, 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 modified with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) to provide an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, making it ideal for demanding sliding applications. It also incorporates XAP2 low emission technology for reduced VOC emissions and low odor.

The “TF” designation indicates tribological modification with PTFE, while “XAP2” indicates low emission technology. Together, they deliver very low friction, good wear resistance, self-lubricating properties, and compliance with automotive interior air quality standards.

It is a very hard and rigid, heavy-metal free POM copolymer grade that exhibits outstanding chemical resistance (solvents, fuels & strong alkalis), hydrolysis-, fatigue-, creep-, moisture- and stress cracking resistance. It also maintains toughness down to -40°C, offers good heat distortion temperature (up to 100°C), very good slip/wear properties, excellent resilience, low moisture absorption, and higher stability to thermal and oxidative degradation compared to acetal homopolymers. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and bulk shipments for automotive, precision engineering, and industrial applications.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

The following injection molding parameters are recommended for Hostaform C 9021 TF XAP2:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform C 9021 TF XAP2:

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

• Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, as this will compromise the PTFE-modified tribological properties and XAP2 low emission characteristics.

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this specialty grade. PTFE additives can degrade during re-processing, compromising mechanical and tribological properties, and may introduce additional volatile compounds that compromise XAP2 low emission 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 to maintain low-emission characteristics.
