BASF launches range of PA 6 & PA 66 for sensitive automotive electronics

摘要

FOR reliable micro-electronics in sensitive automotive applications such as control units and sensors, BASF has now developed a portfolio of various poly amide 6 and 66 grades that help prevent damage to circuits by electric corrosion. The different Ultramid EQ grades (EQ = electronic quality) are extremely pure, which means they have hardly any electrically active or corrosion-generating contents, yet still offer good resistance to heat aging. They are subject to special quality tests that cover raw material selection, the production process, and the analysis of the halogen content. Available globally, the portfolio consists of uncolored and black grades with glass fiber contents of 30 and 35 percent, which are also lasermarkable. Ultramid EQ has already proven itself in a range of applications under harsh conditions.
