EFEN, a German company leading in the innovation of electrotechnical devices for energy distribution, selects LATI's LATAMID materials for its high-current switches in the E3 series.
LATAMID 66 H2 G/25-V0HF1: the advanced solution for high currents
This PA66-based compound is reinforced with 25% glass fiber and includes halogen-free, red phosphorus-free flame retardants, ensuring both operational efficiency and environmental safety. With a CTI (Comparative Tracking Index) rating of 600 V according to IEC 60112 standards, this material provides maximum protection against tracking currents.
Technical features and advantages of LATAMID 66 H2 G/25-V0HF1
In applications requiring advanced fire resistance, this special compound stands out with its UL94 V0 classification down to thicknesses of 0.75 mm and as thin as 0.4 mm in its V0HF1X version. It offers excellent glowing wire performance, with GWIT at 775°C and GWFI at 960°C, even at low thicknesses. Moreover, it boasts a UL-certified Relative Thermal Index (RTI) of 130°C, ensuring stability and longevity under demanding thermal conditions.
Additionally, where exceptional mechanical stability is required, this plastic material performs excellently, being designed for high strength and impact resistance—ideal for heavy-duty applications and critical environments.
LATIECO range: recycled compounds for a sustainable future
To meet the growing demand for sustainability in technical materials, LATI also offers Green LATIECO versions, compounds made from recycled raw materials designed to deliver maximum performance.
LATIECO 66 MR H2 G/25-V0HF1 and LATIECO 66 MR H2 G/25-V0KB3, made from mechanically recycled base polymer, provide a sustainable alternative to traditional compounds, maintaining the fire resistance and structural stability of their standard versions.
These innovative materials not only meet safety and performance standards but also address environmental needs, making LATI the ideal choice for companies like EFEN that aim to combine quality and sustainability in their electrical current management solutions.
Customers may request the technical datasheet or a sample to experience the outstanding qualities of LATAMID and LATIECO compounds and test them in their industrial applications to discover how these plastic materials can truly make a difference in their projects, both in terms of performance and environmental impact.
