AKROMID® AKROLOY®

Every application has its own characteristic and demands on the raw material. Because of this the portfolio of AKRO-PLASTIC is divided into three different parts: Unreinforced, reinforced and high performance.

Unreinforced flame retardant grades are the best solution for components where thin parts take on an important task of the application, for example film hinges. AKROMID® C3 1 FR (4163) is optimized for an excellent flow ensuring a good flow through these thin areas during production. If optimization of costs is a significant part of the project AKROMID® B3 1 FR (6437) is a good solution. Both materials provide a Yellow-Card and are suitable for parts where UL94-V-0 is required. For applications where V-2 is required – for example cable glands – AKROMID® B3 HU natural (7455) with its Yellow Card from 0.8 mm is a cost effective alternative.

For applications with high demands on mechanical properties glass fiber reinforced flame retardant polyamides are favorised, mostly with 25 or 30 % of glass fibers. Unfortunately flame retardants lower the mechanical properties of the compound.

With our long experience in highly reinforced materials and our gentle treatment of the glass fibers during processing we are able to produce flame retardant materials with higher mechanical properties than our competition. All materials are listed at UL providing V-0 and a CTI of > 600V.
