BASF Ultraform N2650 Z6 POM Resin

Physical Properties

• Bulk Density: It is 0.850 g/cc (0.0307 lb/in³). This value affects how the material is handled, stored, and transported in its un – processed form.
• Density: Measured by ISO 1183, the density is 1.33 g/cc (0.0480 lb/in³). It is used to estimate the weight of products and can influence the material’s mechanical and physical performance.
• Water Absorption: According to ISO 62, it is 0.80 %. Water absorption can have a significant impact on the material’s performance, especially in applications involving water or high humidity.
• Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: Based on ISO 62, it is 0.20 %. Understanding this value helps in predicting the material’s behavior in different environmental conditions over time.
• Melt Flow: Tested as per ISO 1133, at 190 °C (374 °F) under a 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) load, the melt flow rate is 9.31 g/10 min. It affects the ease of processing during injection molding for high – impact – strength applications.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: Polyoxymethylene (POM) + PUR
2. Modification Features:
   • Elastomer – modified to achieve the highest impact strength
   • Formulated for injection molding with low stiffness characteristics
   • Engineered to balance high impact resistance and low rigidity

Applications:

1. Automotive: Perfect for automotive parts like bumpers and interior trim pieces that need to absorb impacts while maintaining flexibility and low stiffness to reduce stress concentrations.
2. Sports Equipment: Used in manufacturing sports gear components where high impact strength and low stiffness are crucial for shock absorption and user comfort, such as handles and guards.
3. Consumer Goods: Ideal for products like tool housings or mobile device cases, providing protection against drops and impacts while allowing for a more ergonomic and flexible design due to its low stiffness.
