SolVin®/Siamvic® PVC-S - Vinyloop® R-PVC - Benvic® PVC Compound

Reliable High-Temperature Performance

Amodel® polyphthalamide (PPA) is a family of high-temperature polyamides that retain their high strength and stiffness up to 280°C and maintain mechanical integrity after thousands of hours at elevated temperatures. Their low moisture absorption prevents blistering during IR soldering. These materials are highly resistant to many commonly used electronic cleaning agents, fuels, automotive fluids and road salts. Fast cycle times can lower molding costs.

Amodel resins are available in an wide variety of grades—including high strength, toughened, conductive, high flow, laser welding and flame retardant grades—giving you more ways to optimize performance, processing and price.

Amodel® PPA Key Features

• High strength and stiffness
• Continuous-use temperature from 120-185°C at 5,000 hours
• Withstands SMT processing up to 280°C
• Low moisture absorption prevents blistering
• Excellent dimensional stability
• High flow for thin-wall designs and precision overmolding
• Excellent electrical insulating properties
• Good adhesion to silicone and epoxy
• Meets established OEM specifications
• Resists automotive fluids, fuels and road salts

Xydar® liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a highly crystalline glass-filled resin that offers exceptional flow properties. It can withstand SMT assembly, including lead-free solder reflow, and retains its high strength and stiffness up to 300°C.

Xydar® LCP Key Features

• Withstands SMT processing up to 280°C
• High strength and stiffness up to 300°C
• Very high flow to fill long, thin walls
• Mold complex geometries with tight tolerances
• Outstanding chemical resistance
• Inherently flame retardant

A Visible Difference

Sulfone polymers are amorphous high-heat polymers that retain their mechanical strength in some of the toughest environments. Unfilled grades offer good ductility and are available in a range of transparent colors.

Udel® polysulfone (PSU) offers exceptional dimensional and hydrolytic stability and has an HDT of 174°C (345°F). Veradel® polyethersulfone (PESU) offers a high HDT of 204°C (399°F) and better chemical resistance than Udel resins.

Key Features

• High glass transition temperatures up to 220°C
• Strength and toughness at elevated temperature
• Excellent hydrolytic stability
• Good electrical insulation properties
• High elongation for good ductility
• Warp resistance
