Currently, polyamides like PA6, PA66, PBT and PC are commonly used thermoplastic materials to manufacture electric charging plugs. Various flame retardant additives are used with these thermoplastics to ensure improved fire and electrical safety. Often these options compromise the mechanical performance and aesthetics of plugs.
In this brochure, learn about DSM’s Akulon® PA6 and PA66 materials that deliver the optimal balance of mechanical strength, aesthetics and value.
