Solvay has introduced an improved version of Technyl One polyamide products

Solvay has introduced an improved version of Technyl One, a range of halogen-free flame retardant materials.
the company says the next generation of products meets the challenges of digital urban transformation by providing better performance, safety and environmental protection.
"'s rapidly evolving 'smart technology' has triggered an increase in security systems and their connectivity, as well as the management of smart networks
the
. This requires solutions that meet higher performance, sustainability and cost-effectiveness," explains Florence Schutz, Global Marketing Manager for Solvay Performance Polyamide.
"To support the emergence of these new applications, such as smart meters and circuit breakers, we have strengthened the range of Technyl One products. It paves the way for more complex designs, providing enhanced machinability and flame retardant properties that meet safety standards, while providing a sustainable halogen-free solution. "
next-generation Technyl One increases the potential for miniaturization of electrical and connected safety systems while maintaining the same level of safety as previous generations."
at a wall thickness of 0.4mm, these devices are said to meet UL941V0 standards, ensuring performance (relative heat index) at 150 degrees C and fire resistance (glow wire ignition temperature) up to 800 degrees C2.
also has good environmental properties, avoiding waste and reducing corrosion by more than 70 percent compared to conventional high-temperature halogen-free polymers, Solvi said.
"Technyl One is a product on the market, ideal for systems that require electrical and fire performance," Schutz added.
thanks to our solutions, key players in the industry have been able to optimize the design of some electrical equipment while maintaining the same level of safety. In some cases, OEM plants have changed their production processes, replacing traditional materials with Technyl One. "
