E-Boxes Application Data

Details

Stanyl® PA46 also used in connectors, e-motor parts, bobbins, sensors, fuse boxes.

Benefits

• Akulon® PA6, Arnite® PBT and Stanyl® PA46 allow for reliable solutions due to their high temperature resistance (much higher than PP) and due to their good electrical insulation properties
• Akulon® PA6, Arnite® PBT and Stanyl® PA46 allow for cost effective solutions due to their ease of processability

Bezels and AFL Frames Application Data

Details

Additional lighting components in Envalior EP materials: Sockets in Stanyl® PA46 or Akulon® PA6, Fog lamps in thermoconductive Stanyl or Arnite®.

Benefits

• Arnite® XL allows for 40-50% lighter weight solutions versus metal
• Arnite® XL allows for reliable solutions due to its very low outgassing behavior ensuring good long term road visibility, its high dimensional stability (as compared to PA) resulting in less beam vibration (enabling switch to LED/Xenon and AFL/DBL)
• Arnite® XL allows for cost effective solutions as compared with PPS and PPA
