PTFA 07 is a new generation of halogen-free, highly stabilized polypropylene compound for injection moulded applications. The mainfeatures include ease of moulding, excellent UV and thermal stabilities, low specific gravity and a flammability rating to UL 94 V0 at 3.2mm. Examples of suitable applications range from electrical sockets and boxes to internal light fittings, plus other areas where a combination of high UV stability and thermal oxidative stability is required. A service temperature in air of 100°C over a period of months to years (i.e. medium term) is within expectation. Articles made from this compound will meet the environmental criteria of both the WEEE and ROHS Directives, as PTFA 07 is 100% environmentally-friendly.

PTFA 12 is a tough and rigid halogen-free compound designed for injection moulding engineering components. Initially developed for moulding escalator comb sets, it has since proved beneficial in other electrical components because of its stiffness and durability. It can even replace glass-filled FR nylon compounds in certain applications, due to its thermal and UV-stability ratings and lower specific gravity. Currently available in yellow RAL 1023, other colours and performance permutations can be accommodated. Articles made from this compound will meet the environmental criteria of both the WEEE and ROHS Directives.
