BASF has developed a portfolio of various polyamide 6 and 66 grades that help prevent damage to circuits by electric corrosion, for reliable micro-electronics in sensitive automotive applications such as control units and sensors.
The different Ultramid EQ (Electronic Quality) grades 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.BASF has developed a portfolio of various polyamide 6 and 66 grades that help prevent damage to circuits by electric corrosion, for reliable micro#
Available globally, the portfolio consists of uncoloured and black grades with glass fibre contents of 30 and 35 per cent, which are also laser-markable. Ultramid EQ has already proven itself in a range of applications under harsh conditions, according to a press release.
All Ultramid EQ grades have an organic heat stabiliser with a very low halogen content of less than 1 ppm. This prevents halogens like iodine or bromine from damaging metal wiring, ions from reacting with the metals, and undesired electric currents from arising.
In addition to the specified formula and complex production process, all Ultramid EQ charges are checked carefully. This ensures that the manufacturing process does not introduce any halogen contamination to the material. The relevant certificate is provided to customers if desired. The new Ultramid EQ portfolio is also well-suited for use in electric and hybrid vehicles with elevated AC and DC voltages. (GK)
