Meeting customer needs for pure polymers
The TECHNYL® Engineered Materials team worked closely with OEM and tier customers to better understand their requirements in terms of electrical and electronic applications. The result of this collaborative exercise was to come up with the TECHNYL® PURE range of high purity polyamides.
The question of purity starts with the formulation, where the raw materials are selected according to demanding specifications. The handling of compounds is also key, requiring good manufacturing processes to prevent contamination.
The TECHNYL® PURE range
The TECHNYL® PURE range offers different levels of compound purity (polymer, additives and fillers) depending on the functional purpose. For applications where the risk of corrosion due to plastic additive migration needs to be limited, the baseline TECHNYL® PURE grades containing less than 100 parts per million (ppm) of halides drastically reduce the risk of issues from contamination during the lifetime of the application.
For an even higher level of security, the high purity grades, targeting less than 15 ppm of halide content, employ additional processing measures, including clean manufacturing and pure water. And, at the top of the polyamide purity pyramid is the ion-free grade, with a composition that eliminates metallic cations with less than 8 ppm of ion migration, according to DOMO’s specifically defined migration test.
Why you should choose TECHNYL® PURE
- Limited risk of electrochemical contact corrosion
- High temperature stability
- High comparative tracking index (CTI at 600 V and higher)
- Low viscosity compounds perfectly match the processing needs for miniaturization
Key applications of TECHNYL® PURE polyamide
Target applications for the pure polyamide compounds include electrical and safety control devices, such as sensors, as well as electronic and telematics control units (ECU/TCU). The high purity grades are ideal for newly electrified functions for higher voltage vehicles (which were previously mechanically driven), such as e-water pumps, e-thermostat housings and e-valves, as well as some high voltage electrical applications, such as connectors, bus bars and induction charging devices.
The highest purity, metallic ion-free grade, TECHNYL® PURE J 219HT V35 BK is fuel cell system compliant. This grade prevents critical cation and metal ion migration, which could affect the electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell stack. This TECHNYL® PURE formulation can also be used for many related functions in the fuel cell system, providing a single solution for a range of applications. What is more, systems with requirements for dielectric properties can also rely on this grade of TECHNYL® PURE.
The pure formulation of this compound also promises benefits for applications beyond e-mobility, to include the essential functioning of electronics in autonomous driving and much more. In fact, TECHNYL® PURE is an optimal part of the solution for any sensitive electronics or electrical application where corrosion, passivation (deposition), or structuration (dendrites formation) could be a problem.
