Specifically formulated to increase fire and electrical protection for power management equipment, the flame retardant polyamides give manufacturers an edge when it comes to miniaturization. Indeed, TECHNYL® PROTECT nylon enables manufacturers to produce miniaturized components of the highest quality while meeting the strictest safety standards.
The TECHNYL® PROTECT line has been developed for applications ranging from electrical protection devices, power management and renewable energy systems, to automotive electrics and consumer electronics. With excellent electrical performance, easy-processing ability, and mechanical strength, TECHNYL® PROTECT flame retardant polymers have demonstrated their value in numerous high voltage component product designs, including for mini and smart circuit breakers, molded-case circuit breakers, power control equipment and contactors, as well as e-mobility connectors.
The polyamide 6 and 66 offering mainly consists of halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) grades while, red phosphorous-based and halogenated solutions continue to be available to meet specific applications needs.
In addition, DOMO customers can benefit from the new TECHNYL® 4EARTH® halogen free flame retardant family, based on recycled feedstock, as well as from TECHNYL STAR® and TECHNYL® ONE solutions, already well established in the E&E market and in new EV applications answering these specific markets needs as optimized processability processing behavior, reduced corrosion and thermal ageing.
