...ty for measuring the impact of electrical corrosion for different application cases both with and without direct metal contact. To further minimize the problem of electrical corrosion caused by additives, DSM has introduced ForTii Ace as a high temperature PPA with the highest Tg (glass transition temperature) of 160 °C amongst all polyamides. In applications requiring a continuous use temperature up to 150 °C and above, the high Tg eliminates the need for heat stabilizers in the compound withou...

... that is used for lamp holders and connectors, e.g. for kitchen appliances such as the Vorwerk Thermomix food processor (Figs. 2 and 3). DSM Engineering Plastics Europe of Sittard, Netherlands, quadrupled production capacity for Stanyl ForTii and opened a new production facility in June 2010. Stanyl ForTii is a halogen-free, flame-retardant, high-temperature polyamide based on the precursors for polyamide 46 and terephthalic acid. At present, there are about 15 different grades, tailored to the ...

...d above, thanks to its unique combination of high melting point, high HDT value and excellent fit for the few available halogen free flame retardant systems without sacrificing tremendously on flow and mechanical properties. Stanyl ForTii (product designation F11), a halogen-free, heat-resistant plastic containing up to 30 % glassfiber reinforcement, is now being used in various Rast solutions by Stocko-Contact GmbH & Co. KG, Wuppertal, Germany. F11 is currently one of the few halogen-free, ...

... starting from 1mm. What is more, it fulfills high requirements considering glow wire and creep resistance. DSM also added a suitable flame retardant to its heat-resistant polyamide 4T, to make it ready for the UL94-V0 standard (Stanyl ForTii). It reaches this classification at only 0.2 mm wall thickness.Renewable Raw MaterialsMost of all, bio-based polyamides have lately attracted the attention of experts. Numerous suppliers today offer different types of polyamides based on castor oil that ser...

...al properties and on long-term resistance to thermal ageing. Another requirement is high flame retardancy, preferably relying on a halogen-free flame retardant, to provide certified UL94 V-0 ratings at the smallest wall-thicknesses. Stanyl ForTii PA4T from DSM has an ideal fit in this demanding application segment.In addition, materials used for thin-walled electronic components must also exhibit high tracking resistance. DSM’s PA46 and PA4T materials approved for these applications by several m...

...clusion was that "innovations are worthwhile; there is no need to be fearful." But now back to the chemical polymer modifications announced at the top of this article. Tim Vorage from DSM Engineering Plastics, Heerlen, The Netherlands, presented ForTii Ace, a polyphthalamide (PPA) compound. This material was the show-piece at the manufacturer’s presentation at last year’s K trade fair, and is notable for its very high glass transition of 160 °C, which makes it "the first PPA to reach this milest...

V., Herleen/Netherlands, has developed a plastic material that is very well suited for NMT processing with the PPA ForTii Ace presented at K 2016. The chemistry of the C4 molecule permits better crystallization, so that it has the highest glass transition temperature (Tg) in its material class compared to other PPA materials. The high proportion of aromatic compounds also...
