Celanese Launches Hostaform® RF for Rotomolding Tank Applications
September 22 2021 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global
chemical and specialty materials company, today announced the
launch of Hostaform® RF, a low permeation acetal copolymer tailored
for Small Off-Road Engine and marine fuel tanks, hydraulic
reservoirs, and industrial bulk containers.
“Celanese’s long history and expertise in acetal polymer
formulation and processing helped us design a specific solution
optimized for the rotational molding process,” said Adam Larkin,
Senior Manager, Acetal Product Marketing. “This single-layer
solution enables optimal tank designs without any secondary
operations, thereby increasing efficiency and productivity for our
customers.”
As the leading acetal copolymer supplier for automotive fuel
systems, Celanese has specifically formulated Hostaform® RF to
deliver an easy-to-use, drop-in solution for traditional rotational
molding. The rotational molding method creates parts by placing
material inside a heated, hollow, rotating mold where material is
dispersed evenly.
The new RF resin system delivers the excellent mechanical and
chemical-resistant properties of Celanese’s Hostaform® acetal
copolymer while also providing a single-layer solution versus
multilayer tank systems requiring secondary treatment, such as
fluorination. Hostaform® RF delivers an unprecedented balance of
impact and durability performance along with low fuel permeation
that customers need to meet U.S. EPA regulations.
Celanese will showcase this new acetal solution at the Rotoplas
2021 conference in Chicago, Ill., Sept. 20-23 in booth #629. At the
conference, Celanese will give two presentations, as follows:
- “Celanese ‘What’s New’: HostaformÒRF” presented by Robert Nist,
Business Development Manager, at 3:30 p.m. Central time on
Wednesday, Sept. 22.
- “Rotomoldable Acetal for Tank Solutions” presented by Darin
Grinsteinner, Product Development, at 8:30 a.m. Central time on
Thursday, Sept. 23.
