Solvay (a pinfa member company) has launched new advanced polyamide-based (PA66) materials for the demanding performance and specific fire safety needs of electric vehicles. Nitrogen and inorganics based PIN flame retardants enable to achieve fire safety requirements, whilst avoiding risks of galvanic corrosion which is susceptible to lead to systems failure or short-circuiting. The formulations offer high temperature dimensional stability, heat and glycol resistance and are available in bio-sourced grades. Applications include hydrogen manifolds, fuel cells, sensors, heater plates, high power electric vehicle charges and connectors.
