BASFs engineering plastics with


flame-retardant properties

Plastics used in electrical applications have to show


excellent electrical performance, good mechanical
properties as well as high dimensional stability under
heat. In daily operation, they have to guarantee insulation and therefore secure handling. They have to
reduce fire risk in the event of an electrical defect or
exposure to external sources of ignition. With a lot of
applications, the plastic is used for designing the exterior as well. This is why design requirements e.g.
for surface quality, haptics, and colors become more
and more important.

Ultramid (PA: polyamide) has good electrical insulation


properties, useful sliding friction performance, and excellent mechanical strength. It is available in a wide range of
flame-retardant grades, and is therefore used in almost
every sector of industrial control units, connection technology,
electronics as well as in household appliances.

Fig. 2: IEC112 tracking resistance of flame-retardant polyamides

The fundamental chemical structure of polyamides makes


them highly suitable for use with halogen-free flame retardants. Ultramid compounds mainly use halogen-free flame
retardants, giving extremely low smoke density and smoke
toxicity in the event of a fire (Fig.1). This becomes more and
more important, e.g. in material specifications for rail vehicles, aircraft, and public buildings. Flame-retardant Ultramid
grades are particularly successful in complying with these
more stringent requirements. Values for tracking resistance
also compare favorably with those of halogen-containing
flame-protection systems (Fig. 2).

The Ultramid grades A3X2G5, A3X2G7, A3X2G10, A3XZG5,


and Ultramid T KR 4365 G5 combine excellent mechanical and tribological properties with high tracking resistance and
good fire performance. The products can be easily and costefficiently processed. They show the best flame-retardant
additive stability in their material class. E.g. in control units,
this guarantees a constantly high level of security as far as
the electrical functions are concerned.

They are a preferred material for many electrical engineering


applications: They are most often used in industrial switchgear and automation. The A3X grades are also the materials
of choice for automotive engineering applications where fire
protection is required.

Ultramid A3X2G5, A3X2G7, and A3XZG5 also comply with


UL 94 V0 respectively 5VA and are UL-listed for outdoor applications (f1) both of these being essential preconditions for
use in photovoltaic applications.

These Ultramid grades show a very good creep resistance.


The comparative tracking index CTI acc. to IEC 60112 can
reach up to 600V. The Inclined Plane Tracking test (tracking

and erosion) is passed at 1,000V test voltage at more than


60 minutes (acc. to ASTM D-2303, method Time-to-Track).
The chemical resistance and the stress cracking resistance
are excellent.

For connection technology in solar installations, a suitable


plastic is Ultramid A3XZG5 with its excellent impact resistance
extending to low temperatures, can even pass the UL1703
cold-impact test (steel ball drop test) at -35C.

The high stiffness of Ultramid A3X2G7 makes it particularly


suitable for plug connectors in photovoltaic systems: very slim
plugs can be designed which nevertheless comply with the
stringent requirements.

Ultramid

(PA)

Because of its high melting point at 295C, Ultramid T KR


4365 G5 (PA6/6T GF25 FR) is a semi-aromatic material
suitable for applications like modern soldering processes
using lead-free solder at high temperatures.

The Ultramid A3U40G5, B3UG4, B3U30G6, and B3UGM210


grades can combine the extensive property profile of reinforced thermoplastics with UL 746 C compliance, and that
in different colors as the application requires.

Ultramid A3U40G5 has a halogen-free flame-retardant system newly developed for electrical applications, achieving
UL 94 class V-0 even at 0.4mm and passing the GWIT
775C glow-wire test. It shows good mechanical performance together with exceptional fire protection and electrical properties. It can be produced in a wide variety of
colors. Examples of its many and varied applications are
household appliances, plug connectors, also switchgear in
buildings or industrial applications, and electrical systems
in vehicles either conventional vehicles or those using
alternative drive systems.

Ultramid B3UGM210 is a light-colored plastic with a mineral flame-retardant system showing extremely low smoke
density (Fig.1) and smoke toxicity in the event of a fire. It
achieves UL 94 class V-0. Its thermal conductivity is very
high for plastics: 1 W/mK. This grade is particularly suitable
for switchgear in buildings and industrial plants, in rail vehicles
as well as for thermal management in electrical applications.

The two grades Ultramid B3UG4 and B3U30G6 achieve UL


94 class V-2. They were developed mainly for electrical systems in buildings, in particular for circuit breakers. Ultramid
B3U30G6 is an advance on the well-established product
Ultramid B3UG4, providing another significant increase in
stiffness and improving the flowability. The result is increased
design freedom, for example in the field of miniaturization.

Ultramid C3U and A3U30 are unreinforced PA grades featuring


exceptional flowability and toughness. Ultramid A3U30 also
achieves UL 94 class V-0 at a wall thickness of 0.25mm
and is to date the only material in this class to do so. Both of
these materials can be produced in a lot of colors. Sample
plaques achieve GWIT 775C in the glow-wire test. These
two unreinforced flame-retardant grades are used wherever
high toughness is required combined with exceptionally good
fire performance. The current main application is terminal
strips for electrical systems in buildings and industrial switchgear.

Circuit breaker

Ultradur

(PBT)

Ultradur, the polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) from BASF,


has a specific combination of properties making it an ideal
material for particular applications in electrical engineering
and electronics. It shows not only high stiffness and good
thermal resistance but also exceptional dimensional stability
and excellent long-term electrical and thermal performance.

Flame-retardant PBT has up to now almost always used halogenated flame retardance systems. Halogen-free solutions
providing high efficiency have been rarely available to date
because they are difficult to achieve. BASF can now supplement the existing range of flame-retardant PBT with two
new Ultradur grades with halogen-free flame retardance and
an excellent property profile.

Ultradur B4441 G5 has a newly developed flame retardance


system which is halogen-free and color-neutral. It achieves
UL 94 class V-0 even at 0.4mm and passes the GWIT 775C
glow-wire test. This grade is therefore highly suitable for
household appliances, plug connectors and automation applications. It can also be used for automotive electronics components like control devices and sensors, if these require
flame retardance equipment.

Ultradur B4450 G5 is another newly developed product. It


contains another innovative halogen-free flame retardance
system. Specific features here are very high tracking resistance (CTI 600) and exceptionally good contact corrosion
performance. Compliance with UL 94 V-0 is achieved for thicknesses starting at 1.5mm. The product is laser-markable
(1064nm) if it is uncolored, light-colored or black.

Preferred application sectors are electrical systems in rail


vehicles, circuit breakers, plug connectors, and electronic
switching elements for higher voltages (in e.g. rail vehicles,
alternative drives, and photovoltaic systems).

The well-established flame-retardant Ultradur B4406 grades


are available without reinforcement and also with 10, 20
and 30% glass fiber content. They feature good mechanical
properties, high dimensional stability, and exceptional flame
retardance: all colors and glass fiber contents achieve UL
94 V-0 from 0.4mm wall thickness. Examples of application
sectors for these PBT grades are plug connectors, coil formers, and other components of circuit breakers or low-voltage
industrial switchgear.

Airbag connectors

Contact of polyesters with water, also in the form of air humidity, leads to hydrolytic cleavage of the polymer chains and
hence to a weakening of the material, particularly at elevated temperatures. Important material properties such as
strength, elasticity and toughness are affected when the
material is subject to hydrolytic damage. In application cases
when moisture acts on the component at relatively high
temperatures and over a particular period of time, additives
are generally used as hydrolysis stabilizers. These additives
counteract chain cleavage by hydrolysis, significantly delay
hydrolytic degradation and can thus prolong the lifetime of
a component considerably. The development of hydrolysisstabilized Ultradur types combines the proven good properties
of Ultradur with a much higher resistance to the effects of
moisture. So it is even possible to manufacture applications
for the highest stress classes. For the E/E industry, BASF is
offering the flame-retardent and hydrolytic resistant Ultradur
B4450 G5 HR.

(PSU, PESU)

BASFs Ultrason grades are amorphous thermoplastics with


high temperature resistance, which are based on polysulfone
(PSU) and polyether sulfone (PESU). Particular features are
high dimensional stability and good mechanical properties
that are substantially independent of temperature.

Sheer modulus G' [MPa]

Ultrason

Ultrason is inherently flame-retardant and in many formulations requires no additional flame retardant to achieve UL 94
V-0 starting at a thickness of 1.5mm. This property profile
together with good electrical insulation properties, high heataging resistance, and good hydrolysis resistance makes
Ultrason particularly suitable for highly stressed components
over a wide temperature range from -50 to +180C.
