For plastics to be safely used in critical applications, they must exhibit flame-retardant performance that complies with the requirements of internationally recognized test standards when exposed to fire. eurotec® continues to develop its portfolio of flame-retardant engineering plastics by combining ease of processing with consistent quality while meeting the evolving and increasingly competitive demands of the market.
Selecting the right material starts with a thorough evaluation of the application's requirements. In addition to the required mechanical and thermal performance, the material must provide the appropriate flowability according to the part geometry and wall thickness, as well as the required flame-retardant performance. These properties are critical to ensuring part quality, processing efficiency, and long-term durability. Choosing the right material for the right application not only fulfills performance requirements but also enables the most cost-effective solution.
Rated UL94 V0, the Tecolen PP FR Series has been developed with application-specific combinations of impact strength, flowability, and thermal performance to meet diverse design requirements (Table 1). Its halogen-free formulation makes it a reliable solution for high-voltage electrical and electronic applications in the electric vehicle industry, including busbars, connectors, terminal blocks, and battery modules. It has also been designed for the construction and public infrastructure sectors, where enhanced fire safety and passenger protection are essential.
In addition to virgin grades, the Tecolen PP FR Series is also available in recycled grades with a reduced carbon footprint, supporting the sustainability goals of various industries while contributing to the future of electrical and electronic applications and the circular economy.
Thanks to its tailor-made formulations that can be customized according to specific part requirements, the Tecolen PP FR Series offers outstanding design flexibility while delivering a safe, cost-effective, and high-performance solution.
