Color-stabilized polyamides shine in electric vehicle applications

High-pressure components are often exposed to significant and repeated temperature fluctuations, which often cause strong discoloration of conventional polyamides (P.

“High-pressure components are often exposed to significant temperature fluctuations, causing strong discoloration of conventional polyamid.

In addition to color consistency, Ultramid A3U44G6 DC OR has high electrical insulation and is characterized by a CTI of 60 The use of special pigments, without the use of halide-containing flame retardants, can also counteract galvanic corrosion that was previously difficult to control, especially in humid and warm environmen.

"During development, we focused on eliminating halides such as iodide and bromide, setting the direction for a durable product without contact corrosion," explains Michael Roth from Product Developme.

Due to the very low total halide content (below 50ppm), the PA66 achieves a fire rating of UL94 V0 at 4.
