Hostaform HT130 – Super-Toughened Impact-Resistant POM Homopolymer

描述

Hostaform HT130 is a super-toughened impact-resistant POM (Polyoxymethylene) homopolymer 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 specifically designed as a super-toughened impact-resistance grade for general injection molding. It is engineered for highly stressed parts and applications requiring superior impact resistance and flexibility.

The “HT” designation indicates High Toughness, representing Celanese’s advanced homopolymer technology with exceptional impact modification.

Unlike standard POM grades that are rigid and brittle under impact, HT130 offers unmatched toughness, high flexibility, and excellent low-temperature impact resistance – making it the ideal choice for applications where standard POM would fracture under shock or repeated bending. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and bulk shipments for automotive, consumer goods, and industrial applications.

Hostaform HT130 Key Features

Hostaform HT130 offers the following key performance benefits:

• Super-Toughened Impact Resistance – Charpy notched impact strength of 40 kJ/m² at 23°C – far exceeding standard POM grades (typically 6-11 kJ/m²)

• Excellent Low-Temperature Toughness – Maintains superior impact resistance even at low temperatures (down to -40°C), resisting brittle fracture

• High Flexibility & Ductility – Nominal strain at break of >50% – significantly higher than standard POM grades

• High Viscosity – Melt mass-flow rate of 2.2 g/10min (190°C/2.16kg) – provides excellent melt strength for large and thick-walled parts

• Homopolymer Base Advantages – Higher creep resistance and wear resistance compared to copolymer toughened grades

• Good Chemical Resistance – Resistant to moisture, solvents, and strong alkalis

• Good Dimensional Stability – Maintains dimensions under long-term loading

• Heavy-Metal Free – Environmentally friendly formulation

• General Injection Molding – Suitable for standard injection molding processing

Hostaform HT130 Typical Applications

Based on its super-tough, flexible, and high-impact properties, Hostaform HT130 is specifically designed to solve the pain point where standard POM tends to fracture under severe impact or repeated bending:

Material Advantages

The following material advantages make Hostaform HT130 the preferred choice for impact-resistant and highly stressed applications:

• Super-Toughened Impact Performance – With Charpy notched impact strength of 40 kJ/m², HT130 delivers exceptional impact resistance that standard POM grades cannot match, making it the “rubber grade” or “super-tough grade” within the POM family

• Excellent Low-Temperature Toughness – Maintains superior impact resistance even at -40°C, resisting brittle fracture in cold environments

• High Flexibility & Ductility – Nominal strain at break of >50% provides outstanding flexibility to withstand repeated bending and impact loads without fracture

• High Viscosity for Large Parts – MFR of 2.2 g/10min provides excellent melt strength, making it ideal for injection molding of large, thick-walled, or structurally complex parts without melt fracture or flow marks

• Homopolymer-Based Performance – Despite impact modification, the homopolymer base provides higher creep resistance and wear resistance than copolymer toughened grades, ensuring better dimensional stability under long-term loading

• Good Chemical Resistance – Excellent resistance to moisture, solvents, and strong alkalis

• Heavy-Metal Free – Environmentally friendly formulation

• 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)

Typical properties of Hostaform HT130 measured per ISO standards are listed below:

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 for Hostaform HT130 from our team.

Critical Considerations

Before selecting Hostaform HT130 for your application, please note the following important trade-offs:

• Significant Rigidity Sacrifice – To achieve “super-tough” performance, the material has significantly reduced rigidity and strength. It is not suitable for high-precision, high-load gears (which would experience excessive deformation) or bushings requiring extremely high dimensional accuracy.

• Reduced Heat Resistance – Heat deflection temperature (HDT) is noticeably lower than standard homopolymer (below 95°C, potentially even below 70°C). Not suitable for high-temperature load-bearing environments.

• Poor Flowability – High viscosity provides excellent melt strength but results in reduced flowability. Mold design should account for this.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

The following injection molding parameters are recommended for Hostaform HT130:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform HT130:

• 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 220°C.

• Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, as this will compromise the super-toughened properties.

• Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this specialty impact-modified grade. Re-processing may degrade the impact 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.
