What is celcon M90?

Celcon® acetal copolymer grade M90 is a medium viscosity polymer providing optimum performance in general purpose injection molding and extrusion of thin walled tubing and thin gauge film. This grade provides overall excellent performance in many applications.

What is celcon?

Description. CELCON Acetal Copolymer is a TICONA material that offers high strength and rigidity over a broad temperature range. CELCON Acetal is characterized by superior dimensional stability, long-term fatigue resistance and high resistance to chemicals, moisture and fuels.

What is hostaform material?

Hostaform®/Celcon® acetal copolymer (POM) possesses a linear structure with a highly crystalline quality that provides a variety of characteristics: outstanding wear, long-term fatigue, toughness and creep resistance as well as excellent resistance to moisture, solvents and strong alkalis.

What is hostaform?

Hostaform® Polyoxymethylene (polyacetal, POM) is the trade name for the Celanese range of acetal copolymers. Hostaform® POM has a linear structure and is a highly crystalline engineering plastic delivering a combination of outstanding properties for a wide range of high demanding applications.

What type of material is Celcon?

acetal copolymer
Product Description Celcon acetal copolymer grade M90™ is a medium viscosity polymer providing optimum performance in general purpose injection molding and extrusion of thin walled tubing and thin gauge film. This grade provides overall excellent performance in many applications.

How strong is hostaform?

Impact strength, Charpy notched: 6.4 kJ/m² Melting point: 167 °C. Shrinkage: 1.8 % Yield strength: 65 MPa.

Is acetal copolymer safe?

Pros: People that have had experience molding acetal might be surprised, but it is generally considered to be food safe. It is also dishwasher safe. This material is very strong and heat resistant.

Is polyoxymethylene a polymer?

POM – also known as acetal or polyacetal – is a highly crystalline, high-performance engineering polymer that displays a broad range of properties, particularly its low coefficient of friction, excellent wear resistance, high modulus and resistance to many solvents and automotive fuels.

What can Celcon M90 copolymer grade be used for?

Ticona – A business of Celanese Printed: 08. Celcon acetal copolymer grade M90™ is a medium viscosity polymer providing optimum performance in general purpose injection molding and extrusion of thin walled tubing and thin gauge film. This grade provides overall excellent performance in many applications.

Which is the best grade of Celcon acetal copolymer?

Celcon acetal copolymer grade M90™ is a medium viscosity polymer providing optimum performance in general purpose injection molding and extrusion of thin walled tubing and thin gauge film. This grade provides overall excellent performance in many applications.

How long does it take Celcon to dry?

Drying is generally not required because Celcon materials are not hydroscopic nor are they degraded by moisture during processing. Excessive moisture can cause surface defects. For better uniformity especially when using regrind or material that has been stored in containers open to the atmosphere, recommended drying is 3 hours at 80 C (180 F).

When to use annealing or drying on Celcon?

For thick walled sections (>3mm or 1/8 in.), annealing is recommended to reduce internal stresses. Drying is generally not required because Celcon materials are not hydroscopic nor are they degraded by moisture during processing. Excessive moisture can lead to surface defects.
