Halogen Free Polymer

Solvay Engineering Plastics, a world leader in polyamide-based performance materials, has unveiled at this year’s Chinaplas an advanced PA6.6 Polymer Technology to offer the possibility of further miniaturisation and enhanced aesthetics to the consumer electronics market in Asia - home of industry’s largest manufacturing base. This innovative solution combines the characteristics of halogen-free flame retardancy with high flow and low migration, while reducing corrosion during the injection process. The new series of products significantly strengthens Solvay’s existing range of Technyl® ‘60’ halogen-free flame retardant materials which span from high-flow Technyl Star PA6 to high-performance Technyl One product grades. A breakthrough feature of the new formulated polymer Technyl A 60SX is to help customers solve the aesthetics problem caused by the migration phenomena, which may lead to the formation of deposits or causing vents to clog. Solvay’s world-class polyamide chemistry also opens wider windows for designers and moulders thanks to its excellent flowability. It can particularly address the wall thickness challenges facing most of the connector makers for consumer electronics.
