Throughout the years, RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers has consolidated its leading role in the polyamides and engineering polymers sector for applications in numerous industries: automotive, electrical and electronics, water management and consumer goods. With production sites in Europe, China, India, the USA, Mexico and Brazil and a global network of sales, marketing, R&D and technical assistance offices, RadiciGroup can respond to market needs worldwide with innovative materials, advanced technological solutions and continuous strategic investments.

Automotive is a sector of great interest, as the transition to electric vehicles is imposing new demands, particularly for batteries, thermal management and high voltage electrical systems. RadiciGroup offers polyamides, PBTs and polyphthalamides with specific properties, among which thermal stability and hydrolysis resistance. Moreover, the Group has developed materials for lightweighting components and improving electromagnetic interference shielding, as well as orange colour materials that remain stable after prolonged thermal ageing at temperatures of up to 130 °C.

In the electrical and electronics sector, RadiciGroup is introducing high-performance engineering polymers with characteristics, such as high fluidity and low mould deposit, to facilitate component miniaturization. The Group’s new-generation solutions, namely Radiflam A RVXXX HFG1 and Radiflam S RVXXX HFG1, guarantee a GWIT of ≥775 °C and comply with the IEC 60335-1 standard for household appliances.

The photovoltaic sector is growing rapidly, with demand for polymer materials targeted at connectors that comply with severe technical requirements, including impact resistance at low temperatures. Red phosphorus-based Radiflam A RV250 AF2 and Radiflam A RV250Z AF meet these needs.

For the water management sector, RadiciGroup produces PA66, PA612 and PPA polyamides approved for contact with potable water according to international standards. 

The Group also offers solutions for the construction sector, where a recent application successfully combined innovation and sustainability: Renycle, a recycled polyamide, was used for the extrusion of insulating profiles for doors and windows.

RadiciGroup is well known not only for its materials, but also its services. The feather in the Group’s cap is its Engineering Service, which can carry out process simulations and advanced structural analyses of customer designs. These tools can also be of great help for metal replacement projects.

Sustainability is a strategic pillar: RadiciGroup boasts 40 years’ experience in mechanical recycling and can provide certified LCA analyses. The Renycle and Bionside brands are evidence of the Group’s commitment to bio-based and recycled solutions, which contribute to reducing environmental impact and ensure high technical performance.
