e-mobility - orange parts

High requirements for the material
With the radical shift from internal combustion engines to electric drives in vehicle construction, the demands on the plastics used have changed dramatically. For vehicles to keep up with the latest trends in charging times and range, they must be able to withstand voltages of up to 1,000 volts.

The color orange is used in electric vehicles to clearly indicate which plastic-sheathed and current-carrying components are exposed to higher voltages.

These plastics must meet much higher requirements for thermal aging resistance, flame retardancy and creepage resistance.Specially developed plastics are available for this purpose, such as Xytron PPS high dielectric strength from DSM or the PA6 compound Durethan BKV45FN04 with 45% glass fiber from LANXESS.

We have already gained experience with these materials in several projects. Even with the high material requirements, acad is able to realize your pre-series, ramp-up or small series efficiently, quickly and in a cost-effectively.
