Issue 5/2020 - High-performance engineering plastics meet stringent requirements for temperature and aging resistance of electric vehicles

High-performance engineering plastics meet the stringent requirements of electric vehicles such as temperature resistance and aging resistanceDue to the gradual transformation of the power system from internal combustion engine drive to electric drive, automobiles put forward different requirements

for automotive engineering plastics 。 DSM has launched a complete range of engineering plastics covering polyamide PA6, 46, 66, 666, 410, 410, aromatic polyamide PA 4T (PPA) and PA 4T (FoTii Ace), as well as PPS, PBT, PET and polyester-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPC
).

Among them, PA 4T (FoTii Ace) has a glass transition temperature of 160 °C, which can be used continuously up to 150 °C without the use of heat stabilizers, ensuring the mechanical properties of polyamide and avoiding electrical corrosion
caused by additives of core automotive components such as sensors and connectors.

Rated at over 700V and 850V, respectively, the Akulon PA66 and ForTii PPA CTI enable design engineers to do more or design more electronics in a tight space without the additional cost
associated with a well-used package.

Xytron PPS has good temperature and aging resistance characteristics, is suitable for environments with peak operating temperatures exceeding 200°C, and can be used in harsh environments
such as corrosive chemicals, oils or other chemical agents.
