Electronics and electrical market
Engineering plastics are a core component of electrical and electronic applications. Plastics ensure electrical safety in housing parts, connectors and circuit elements. Specific requirements exist with regard to electrical insulation for personal protection and to protect electrical systems from short circuits or electric arcs.
International and national standards, such as IEC 60695 and UL 94, define the requirements and the necessary material properties. Standardized test procedures are used to examine the insulation behaviour, tracking resistance, flammability, flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties of materials. Depending on your requirements profile, we develop the optimum solution for your application from a wide range of materials. AKRO-PLASTIC uses flame retardant systems with the highest environmental standards for this purpose.
Mechanical properties are also crucial for applications in electrical and electronic components. Polyamides and polyesters are the materials of choice for insulating conductors in plug connections and protecting electrical components. Polyesters combine high dimensional stability with good mechanical properties. Colored compounds are used to mark high-voltage systems and thus increase safety in e-mobility. Flame retardant and glass fiber reinforced compounds in orange RAL2003 such as AKROMID® C3 GF 25 1 FR orange (7854) combine outstanding mechanical properties with a V0 classification at 0.8 mm and good mechanical ageing resistance at elevated temperatures.
Electronic devices
Electronic devices are becoming ever smaller and more powerful, making the use of modern flame retardants in technical thermoplastics essential.
All flame retardants are based on halogen- and red phosphorus-free solutions, which leads to optimized electrical properties. The absence of halogen-containing heat stabilizers or additives reduces electrochemical corrosion to a minimum. The combination of these factors helps our customers to build small and durable electrical devices. Coloring in special colors such as RAL 2003 is also possible.

AKROMID® C3 GF 25 1 FR orange (7854)
The flame-retardant and heat-stabilized compound AKROMID® C3 GF 25 1 FR, specially developed for components in the high-voltage sector (HV connectors, busbars or housings), is listed to UL94 in all colours, including RTI listing. AKROMID® C3 GF 25 1 FR orange (7854) similar to RAL 2003 has good color stability when exposed to heat.

Flame retardent Polyketone
Special requirements in e-mobility with regard to flame retardancy, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, electrical properties, color stability, processability and sustainability pose major challenges for a compound. AKROTEK® PK-VM GF 30 FR orange (8537) is the product of choice for applications in e-mobility, e.g. battery management, MEB connectors, cable ducts and more.
The AKROTEK® PK-VM GF 30 FR meets the highest flammability requirements and is UL listed in all colors V0 from @ 0.8mm including RTI listing. AKRO-PLASTIC uses only the most modern flame retardant systems that are free of red phosphorus and halogens. The requirements of high voltage components, such as busbars, require a CTI of 600 V, which the AKROTEK® PK-VM GF 30 FR orange (8537) fulfills.
The required colour stability and laser marking of the e-mobility industry can be achieved with this material.
The process optimization of the AKROTEK® PK product range gives injection molders a larger processing window and offers more flexibility in processing.
The AKROTEK® PK-VM GF 30 FR was developed for injection molding and can also be processed on a large scale in the 3D printing process using pellet extrusion in additive manufacturing (see video).
