BASF Ultraform N2200 G43 POM Resin
BASF Ultraform N2200 G43 is an injection – molding POM by BASF, known for high stiffness and good mold release.
Physical Properties
- Density: Measured per ISO 1183, the density is 1.54 g/cc (0.0556 lb/in³), indicating a high-mass structure for robust mechanical performance.
- Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: At 23°C and 50% RH (ISO 62), equilibrium moisture absorption is 0.15%, ensuring minimal dimensional change from ambient humidity.
- Water Absorption at Saturation: Tested via ISO 62, saturation water absorption is 0.90%, showing moderate moisture retention for occasional wetness exposure.
- Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow: Per ISO 2577, flow-direction shrinkage is 0.010 cm/cm (0.010 in/in), reflecting low contraction along the material flow path.
- Linear Mold Shrinkage, Transverse: Determined by ISO 2577, transverse shrinkage is 0.016 cm/cm (0.016 in/in), indicating higher contraction perpendicular to the flow.
- Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133 at 190°C (374°F) under 2.16 kg (4.76 lb), the melt flow rate is 6.622 g/10 min, balancing processability and melt viscosity.
