Product Description
Moulded parts in electrical engineering, mainly electromechanical parts, e.g.:
  • Automatic cut-outs
  • Relays
  • Switches
  • Contact terminals

Product characteristics
Organically reinforced and inorganically filled, melamine-modified polyester moulding compound in white and coloured shades.
Low post-shrinkage, very good electrical values, high heat resistance, very good sliding behaviour, very good abrasion stability.
Self-extinguishing (V-0/0,8 according to UL 94).
Free of halogens and toxic heavy metals.
