Solvay SA has launched Ixef® 1524 RD 001, a halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) and 50 percent glass fibre reinforced polyarylamide (PARA) grade colour matched to signal orange, for high-performance electrical vehicle (EV) recharge connectors.
“Ixef® 1524 RD 001 is a customized material supplied in dedicated signal orange that is readily available for manufacturers of EV connectors,” said Thomas Kohnert, Global Product Manager Ixef®/Kalix®/Omnix® high-performance polyamides for Solvay’s Specialty Polymers Global Business Unit. “It combines a well-balanced level of high stiffness and impact strength with both excellent creep and temperature resistance in a non-halogenated flame-retardant formulation.”
Moulders will appreciate the high flowability of Ixef® 1524 RD 001 which enables complex designs and thinner walls as thin as 0.5 mm even with glass loadings of 50 percent - therefore contributing to material savings and lower weight components with high injection speeds and short cycle times. Ixef® PARA is also well known for delivering an outstanding, resin-rich and high-gloss surface finish.
