Product Texts

Without halogens and posphorous flame retardant glass fiber reinforced injection moulding grade with outstanding flowability properties, good electrical properties and low smoke density. The product is resistant to the glow wire test GWFI up to 960 °C. Due to the halide free stabilization the impact on corrosion is minimized and sensitive electronic components are better protected.
