Hostaform EC140CF10 – 10% Carbon Fiber Reinforced Conductive POM-C

描述

Hostaform EC140CF10 is a 10% carbon fiber reinforced POM-C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) injection molding grade, 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 reinforced with 10% carbon fibers, delivering significantly increased strength, stiffness, and electrical conductivity. It is an electrostatic dissipative (ESD) grade, providing reliable static charge dissipation for sensitive electronic applications.

The “EC” designation indicates Electrically Conductive, while “CF10” denotes 10% Carbon Fiber reinforcement.

It is a very hard and rigid, heavy-metal free POM copolymer grade that offers outstanding chemical resistance (solvents, fuels & strong alkalis), hydrolysis resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, moisture resistance, and stress cracking resistance. It also maintains toughness down to -40°C, offers high heat distortion temperature (up to 158°C), and provides 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, electronics, semiconductor, and precision engineering applications.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

The following injection molding parameters are recommended for Hostaform EC140CF10:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform EC140CF10:

• Thermal Degradation: POM can decompose at high temperatures, releasing formaldehyde gas. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged residence time in the barrel. Max. melt temperature 210°C.

• Fiber Breakage: Avoid excessive screw speed or back pressure, as this can break carbon fibers and reduce mechanical and electrical properties.

• Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, as this will compromise the carbon fiber reinforced and conductive properties.

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this specialty grade. Carbon fibers can degrade and break during re-processing, compromising mechanical and electrical 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.
