Acetal Copolymer Medical Grade

What is Hostaform MT POM?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. Hostaform MT POM medical grades are manufactured using processes and controls aligned with GMP principles, provide supply assurance, are certified for biocompatibility and offer notification of change.

Why Hostaform MT POM?These medical grade thermoplastic polymers enable the production of highly reliable medical devices with components requiring an excellent balance of strength, stiffness and robustness while operating quietly with low friction in complex assemblies. Devices manufactured with these medical grade Hostaform POM materials can operate smoothly with a high degree of patient comfort and consistency from the very first use.
