Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 – Impact Modified Low Emission POM-C

描述

Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 is an impact modified acetal copolymer (POM-C) 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 an impact modified grade designed for applications requiring improved impact resistance. Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 provides good impact strength while improving modulus and weld line strength over standard impact modified grades such as Hostaform S 9063. It also exhibits exceptional low emission performance meeting or exceeding the requirements of many automotive markets.

Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 is a very hard and rigid, heavy-metal free POM copolymer grade that exhibits outstanding chemical resistance (solvents, fuels & strong alkalis), hydrolysis resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, moisture resistance, and stress cracking resistance. It also exhibits toughness, good heat distortion temperature, very good slip/wear properties, excellent resilience, and low moisture absorption. Available in natural and black, it complies with PFOS, PFOA and ROHS regulations. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and large‑volume bulk shipments for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

Material Advantages of Hostaform S 9362 XAP2

What makes Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 the preferred material for impact-resistant and low emission applications? Below are its core practical advantages:

Good Impact Strength vs. Standard Impact Modified Grades
Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 provides good impact strength while improving modulus and weld line strength over standard impact modified grades such as Hostaform S 9063. With notched impact strength of 10 kJ/m² at 23°C and 6 kJ/m² at -30°C, it delivers reliable performance in demanding applications.

Improved Modulus for Structural Integrity
Unlike many impact modified grades that sacrifice stiffness for toughness, Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 maintains a tensile modulus of 2300 MPa – higher than typical impact modified grades. This “rigidity-toughness balance” makes it suitable for structural applications requiring both strength and durability.

Good Weld Line Strength for Complex Geometries
The special formulation provides good weld line strength, making it ideal for complex part geometries with multiple gate injection points. This ensures structural integrity at weld lines where standard impact modified grades often show weakness.

XAP2 Low Emission Technology
The “XAP2” designation indicates Celanese’s proprietary low emission technology, with exceptional low emission performance meeting or exceeding the requirements of many automotive markets. This makes it especially suitable for automotive interior applications with strict cabin air quality requirements.

Good Heat Resistance
Melting temperature of 166°C and heat deflection temperature of 87°C at 1.8 MPa ensure thermal stability during processing and service.

Excellent Chemical & Hydrolysis Resistance
Outstanding resistance to solvents, fuels, strong alkalis, hydrolysis, fatigue, creep, moisture, and stress cracking.

Good Electrical Properties
Suitable for electrical and electronic applications requiring good electrical insulation.

Heavy‑Metal Free
Environmentally friendly, heavy‑metal‑free formulation.

Batch‑to‑Batch Consistency
Celanese manufactures this grade under strict ISO quality standards for consistent property across shipments.

Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding & Profile Extrusion)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform S 9362 XAP2:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform S 9362 XAP2:

• Medium Flow Processing: With MVR of 6.5 cm³/10min, Hostaform S 9362 XAP2 offers good processability for complex parts. Adjust cycle parameters to maximize throughput while maintaining part quality.

• Drying: Drying is normally not required. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage, drying at 80-100°C for 3-4 hours is recommended.

• Low Emission Property: To maintain XAP2 low emission characteristics, avoid contamination and ensure proper processing conditions.

• Weld Line Strength: To maximize weld line strength, ensure proper melt temperature and injection speed for optimal polymer chain entanglement at weld lines.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times. Max. melt temperature 200°C.

• Material Purity Requirement: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades. Contamination will degrade the impact-modified and low emission properties.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this specialty grade. Reprocessing may compromise the impact properties, weld line strength, and XAP2 low emission characteristics. 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.
