Hostaform POM

Hostaform® / Celcon® acetal copolymer (POM) delivers outstanding wear, long-term fatigue and creep resistance down to -40°C.  Exhibits excellent toughness and rigidity, along with moisture, solvent and alkali resistance.

Product properties

• Very tough (to -40 °C)
• Very hard and rigid
• Easy colorization
• Good heat distortion temperature (to +100 °C)
• Very good slip-wear properties
• Good chemical resistance e.g. to fuels, solvents, strong alkalis
• Excellent resilience
• Low moisture absorption
• Resistant to stress cracking

New Impact-Modified Grades

Hostaform® S 9364 for High-Impact Performance Provide Up to 75% More Impact Resistant and 300% More Weldline Strength

Modifications to the POM backbone in high-impact Hostaform S 9364 enabled Ticona to push the boundaries with next-generation materials that can outperform all impact modified POMs available today.

• Up to 75% increased charpy notched impact performance
• Best-in-class-weldline strength - up to 300% improvement versus conventional impact modified POM grades without sacrificing other properties

This step change in the intrinsic properties and chemical structure of Hostaform POM helps customers:

• Meet increasing impact requirements
• Optimize part designs
• Reduce part costs

Hostaform® S 9362 and S 9363 for High Productivity Delivers Up to 30% Less Cooling Time and 200% More Weldline Strength

These Hostaform POMs offer up to 30% less cooling time for faster cycling - as well as reduced mold deposit for less tool downtime.  Higher heat deflection temperature (HDT) and higher modulus are additional benefits, along with up to 200% increased weldline strength versus conventional impact modified POM grades. 

• Highly productive, fast cycling alternatives to conventional grades
• Up to 30% less cooling time for faster cycling
• Less mold deposit
• Up to 200% increased weldline strength versus conventional impact modified POM grades
• Highest HDT
• Highest modulus
• Better slip and wear performance
• Improved chemical resistance
