Orange flame-retardant grade for e-mobility applications

Syensqo launched its latest innovation Amodel PPA HFFR-4133 Orange (OR). This high-performance flame retardant polypthalamide (PPA), distinguished by its stable and vibrant orange colour, aligns with the industry's growing emphasis on safety and visibility for critical electric vehicle components, such as connectors and busbars.

In the rapidly evolving e-mobility sector, the use of orange-coloured connectors has become a crucial safety standard, offering immediate visual identification of live high-voltage components. Syensqo's Amodel PPA HFFR-4133 OR not only meets but exceeds these safety expectations by retaining its bright colour even under prolonged heat exposure, ensuring compliance with industry standards such as ISO 6469-3, IEC 60664, and relevant UL specifications.

Syensqo added Amodel PPA HFFR-4133 OR to a portfolio of battery solutions including Xencor LFT XTreme PPA LGF-1045 ECHO BP which was developed for components requiring thermal runaway protection and Amodel PPA AE-8945 HFFR which was developed for high voltage pyrofuses. 

"Syensqo continues to achieve new performance milestones for our Amodel PPA family of technologies to meet our customers’ stringent requirements," said Deedee Smith, Head of Transportation Marketing at Syensqo. "Our latest innovation not only enhances safety but also offers our clients a pre-coloured orange resin, eliminating the need for in-press colouring and streamlining the manufacturing process."
