Électricité/Électronique

The sector Electrics & Electronics covers all components in the field of electric and electronic in-house and plant installation. Here, reaction to fire or flame retardancy and thermal endurance (especially thermal long-term stability = RTI values) are the most important characteristics. Miniaturisation and weight reduction pose additional challenges. Depending on the application, high requirements on mechanics, dimensional stability under heat, low-temperature toughness, high CTI values and processability of filigree components have to be met. Flame retardant systems with good stability and little gas release that can be used for thin wall thicknesses are a must. In comparison to the standard supplier, the speciality compounder stands out for plastics in tailor-made colours and their optimization for laser marking.
