Electrical & Electronics Market
 Arkema's Cristamid® Polyamide, functional polymers, Kynar® Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), Kynar Flex® PVDF, Rilsan® Polyamide 11 & 12 and Pebax® Resins are used in a broad range of electrical and electronic applications.
There are few components of electrical boxes that are not touched in some way by organic peroxides - from circuit assembly materials to cross-linked wire and cable coatings.
Plenum network and communications cable
Some Pebax® Resin grades can be used for jacketing of cable. They combine ease of processing, low density and spring back properties that make Pebax® Resins a good candidate for coil cables. Anti termite cable
Fiber optic cable jackets and raceways
Conduits
Automotive wiring and connectors
Battery casings
Fuel cell separator plates
Lithium ion battery binders
Halogen free flame retardant(HFFR)
|
Cables used in buildings, automotive and power networks are increasingly required to be halogen free flame resistant.
Polyolefin based compounds with a high loading of specific flame retardant additives such as Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3 are often the solution. Thanks to their high filler acceptance, Evatane® Resins and Lotryl™ Resins are the correct choice to develop these HFFR compounds. |
Due to its good thermal stability, Lotryl™ Resins are especially suitable when high throughput or elevated process temperatures are needed. High levels of flame retardant additives affect the polymer matrix, which leads to low mechanical performance.This can be overcome by introducing Orevac™ Resins or Lotader® Resins as a coupling agent between the polyolefin and filler.
Evatane® Resins and Lotryl™ Resins can be easily cross-linked by peroxides, silanes or E-beam, when high temperature resistance is required. |
Semi conductive and insulation layers
A typical medium voltage cable contains several layers of extruded polymers and compounds which contribute to meeting stringent requirements of the final application. Layers of semi-conductive compound containing a high level of carbon black often cover the conductors or insulation layer. Very good dispersion of the filler and excellent heat resistance are needed to control the electrical stresses. |
