Electronics

Polymers are replacing metals in buses/trains for lightweighting, cost efficiency, and design flexibility. Demand surges for flame-retardant, durable, and low-maintenance materials, especially in high-speed rail and electric buses.

Characteristics of Electronics Applications:

✤ Precision: Tight tolerances for miniaturized components

✤ High Heat: Solder reflow (260°C+), operating temps

✤ Electrical Criticality: Stable dielectric/insulation properties

✤ Cleanliness: Low outgassing (no contaminant release)

✤ Flammability Standards: UL94 V-0/V-2 compliance

Materials must handle the following properties:

Key Property Requirements:

✤ Dielectric Strength: Insulate high-voltage components

✤ Heat Resistance: Withstand soldering/operation temps

✤ Flame Retardancy: Meet UL94, RoHS, REACH standards

✤ Dimensional Stability: Zero warping during assembly

✤ Chemical Resistance: Resist fluxes, coolants, solvents

✤ Purity: Low ionic contamination for semiconductors
