PIN FR PPA for EV wiring safety

New non-halogenated flame retardant polyphthalamide from BASF (pinfa member) for electrical vehicle terminal blocks. The PPA compound can replace non fire-safe plastics, ensuring high performance electrical insulation and durability in demanding temperatures, in EV motors, inverters and high-voltage wiring connecters, terminals and busbars. In addition to dielectric performance at high temperatures and in humid conditions, the PIN FR material offers thermal shock resistance (-40°C to +150°C, 1000 cycles), strength, stability, stiffness and low-corrosion processing, with wide and vivid colour options. The non-halogenated flame retardant formulation ensures low metal corrosion (essential in wiring, connectors and electronics).
