Flame retardant profiles for electrical applications
Flame-retardant profiles in bright colors play a key role, particularly in the electrical industry. Typical applications include switch cabinets, busbars, and enclosure systems.
As a link between innovative material manufacturers and industrial users, we produce flame-retardant profiles that are precisely tailored to the requirements of electrical engineering. We would also be happy to advise you on CTI 600, which is particularly important for electrical applications.
How can plastic profiles meet the highest fire safety standards?
Safety and fire protection are fundamental in the fields of construction and electrical engineering. Typical applications for flame-retardant profiles include insulating profiles for window construction or for power transmission and housing components. New scenarios in rail transport and vehicle construction are rapidly emerging, e.g., battery components for electric vehicles.
What makes our flame-retardant profiles special?
- Plastics with flame retardant additives are generally not easy to extrude in standard extrusion and often lead to a reduction in technical properties such as accuracy, surface quality, or strength
- Precision, smooth surfaces, economical processability, and high strength
- PA66 GF25 V0 meets the requirements of the best classification V0 according to UL94
Geometries with very low tolerances
Our high-end extrusion process enables the production of precise profiles with tolerances of up to ±0.05 mm as well as the integration of hollow chambers.
Can flame retardant profiles also be sustainable?
The requirements for modern flame retardants have changed significantly in recent years. In addition to effectiveness in the event of fire, environmental protection is playing an increasingly important role in all phases of the product life cycle, from production and processing to application and recycling.
The flame retardant compounds we use are free of bromine, halogen, and red phosphorus. In addition, unlike thermosetting plastics, our flame retardant thermoplastics offer high potential for material recycling. Our materials are also REACH and RoHS compliant.
