OUTSTANDING RESISTANCE TO WEAR, FATIGUE, CREEP, MOISTURE, SOLVENTS AND ALKALIS
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.
Its chemical structure provides a higher stability to thermal and oxidative degradation compared to acetal homopolymers.
