Meeting customer needs for halogen-free polymers

TECHNYL® ONE empowers manufacturers to push the limits of miniaturization in the industry. With excellent electrical performance, molding options, and mechanical and tensile strength, TECHNYL® ONE solutions have demonstrated their value in numerous product designs. The halogen-free polymer combines peak mechanical and electrical properties with superior flowability so manufacturers can create smaller and more complex parts to optimize design without compromising on safety.

With its wide processing window, accurate filling, and good surface aspect, the TECHNYL® ONE halogen-free high temperature polyamide delivers robust results. At the same time, the low corrosion polyamide meets production challenges without any drawbacks for tools or injection molding machines. TECHNYL® ONE is significantly less corrosive than traditional halogen-free flame-retardant materials, further helping to increase production equipment lifetimes.

With an industry-leading certification portfolio, TECHNYL® ONE meets the strictest regulations facing the electrical equipment market, notably UL and IEC fire and fume certification. This includes:

UL94 V0 rating at a wall thickness of only 0.4 mm
Railway standard EN 45545-2: HL3 under R22 & R23
A fully compliant yellow card, including RTI and rating @0.4mm
Compliance with EU environmental waste management directives, RoHS1 2002/95/CE and WEEE2 2002/96/CE

Why you should choose TECHNYL® ONE

Yellow card available with the highest RTI rating at 150°C, at 0.4mm wall thickness
High fire rating class: UL94 at 0.4mm, 600V CTI, GWFI 960°C at 0.8mm
High melt temperature of 285°C and a high crystallization temperature of 250°C, which sets it apart from standard PA 66, not to mention PPA

INJECTION TOOL CORROSION

Key applications of halogen-free polymers

With its TECHNYL® line, DOMO Chemicals offers a complete range of halogen-free flame-retardant polymer solutions for applications ranging from electrical protection devices, power management and renewable energy systems, to automotive electrics and consumer electronics, and more. With excellent electrical performance, easy-processing ability, and mechanical strength, TECHNYL® ONE halogen-free polymers have demonstrated their value in numerous high voltage component product designs, including for mini and smart circuit breakers, molded-case circuit breakers, power control equipment and contactors.

Specifically formulated to increase fire and electrical protection for power management equipment, the halogen-free polymer gives manufacturers an edge when it comes to miniaturization. This is particularly important, as miniaturization means smaller parts and closely packed components, leading to higher temperatures and increased potential of electric arcs and short-circuits. TECHNYL® ONE enables manufacturers to produce miniaturized components of the highest quality while meeting the strictest safety standards.
