Solutions for high performance electronic applications

Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, announces a broad portfolio of halogen free materials for electronics and electrical applications. By eliminating substances of potential hazardous concern, the company makes a significant contribution to solutions that reduce the environmental impact of e-waste and address the customer drive for more sustainable solutions. The electronics and electrical industry is facing growing regulatory demands and OEM requests related to the elimination of substances of hazardous concern, requiring, for example, halogen-free technology and solutions for lead-free soldering. Moreover, producers of key electronic components, such as connectors, sockets, wire & cables, low voltage switch gear devices and, more specifically, enclosures of MCB, MCCB and other Industrial Control Gear devices and LED lighting, are looking to advance miniaturization, system cost reduction and integration of components. This requires materials with higher mechanical, thermal and processing performance over conventional halogen-free high temperature polyamide materials, such as higher temperature performance and flow, thin wall strength, high reflectivity and Glow Wire Ignition Temperature (GWIT) at end use part level. Building on many years of experience as a leading solution provider in the industry, the company offers a complete product portfolio of halogen free high performance engineering plastics for robust solutions which extends customers’ choice with performance. Based on the various application requirements, the full range includes:
