Hostaform MT24U01 – High Flow Medical Grade POM-C

Hostaform MT24U01 is a high flow, medical grade POM‑C (Polyoxymethylene Copolymer) injection molding grade, genuinely manufactured by Celanese and imported as original product. As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine material with full traceability and direct access to official Celanese technical documentation.

This unfilled acetal copolymer is a low melt viscosity grade with very high flow (MVR 24 cm³/10min), designed for fast cycling and thin walled injection molding. The exceptional flowability enables filling of complex, thin wall geometries while maintaining good mechanical properties.

Hostaform MT24U01 is a special grade developed for medical industry applications, containing low residual monomers and no animal‑derived constituents. It complies with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI biocompatibility standards, is FDA 21 CFR and BfR food contact approved, and is listed in the Drug Master File (DMF) and Device Master File (MAF). It also complies with RoHS, PFOS and PFOA regulations and is compatible with Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilization and steam sterilization.

We hold regular stock, supporting small trial orders and large‑volume bulk shipments for demanding end‑users.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform MT24U01:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform MT24U01:

• Fast Cycling Capability: With high flow (MVR 24 cm³/10min) – the highest in the MT series – Hostaform MT24U01 is designed for fast cycling and thin walled parts. Adjust cycle parameters to maximize throughput while maintaining part quality.

• Drying: Drying is not normally required for this material. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage or handling, drying may be necessary to prevent splay and odor problems.

• Medical Grade Purity: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades or non-medical materials. Contamination will compromise the medical compliance and biocompatibility of the material.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this medical grade specialty material. Reprocessing may compromise the biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and medical compliance. If regrind usage is mandatory, keep percentage below 10% and complete pre‑validation testing first.

• Storage Guidance: Store pellets in cool, dry conditions; keep sealed in original factory packaging whenever possible to maintain low residual monomer content.
