Ticona Introduced Hostaform Long Glass Fiber POM

Ticona Introduced Hostaform… Ticona Engineering Polymers introduced a new Hostaform long glass fiber acetal copolymer (POM) that delivers better performance than standard reinforced thermoplastic polymers. Ticona designed this long glass reinforced fiber POM to become the industry`s choice of material in a variety of structural applications such as automotive, appliances and gears.

- Designers and engineers can now enhance the performance of their composite parts with a new Hostaform long glass fiber reinforced POM that offers a unique combination of properties including unprecedented impact resistance, inherent lubricity and excellent fuel and chemical resistance - said Vinicius Mardegan, POM product marketing manager - Americas.

Ticona designed Hostaform long glass fiber reinforced POM for use in structural applications such as sunroof systems, seating systems for automobiles or tractors, appliances, high-loading gears and industrial applications.

Ticona Introduced Hostaform Long Glass Fiber POM

New Hostaform long glass fiber POM achievesits performance advantage via: superior mechanical performance - impact, creep and stiffness - that is required in structural applications; elevated temperature resistance than standard olefin based long fiber products; inherent lubricity and wear resistance; excellent resistance to fuels and chemicals and also typically lower moisture absorption vs. standard polyamides.

- Thanks to our new Hostaform long glass fiber reinforced POM, with better performance characteristics than standard long reinforced thermoplastic polymers, manufacturers now have a cost effective engineering polymer that can replace metal in a variety of applications - added Mardegan.
