A high viscosity, unfilled polyacetal (POM) homopolymer, KEPITAL H100 is made using stateof-the-art, patented technology. KEPITAL H100 is setting new standards within the polyacetal family. With the development of KEPITAL H100, a highly viscous homopolymer type, we have introduced a homopolymer with enhanced features based on state of the art process technology. Its excellent processability and good mechanical properties opens up entirely new options for our customers to manufacture sophisticated technical components out of KEPITAL. KEPITAL H100 is a highly crystalline engineering plastic with excellent mechanical properties under load. It can be used for various applications including gears, automotive door systems, bushings, housings, rollers and conveyor belts. In particular, KEPITAL H100 is superior in mechanical strength, stiffness, creep resistance and impact resistance compared with polyacetal copolymer, allowing for thinner and lighter part design, shorter molding cycles and the potential for cost reductions.
