Insulating compounds for electrical and electronic parts

Flame-retardant, glass-filled PBT, nylon, ABS and PC compounds for connectors, housings and switchgear, with glow-wire testing in our own laboratory.

Electrical parts are judged on what happens when something goes wrong. A connector must keep its shape and insulation when it runs hot. A housing must not sustain a flame. We compound PBT, polyamide, ABS, PC and alloys with glass fibre and flame-retardant packages for exactly these conditions.

Electrical and electronics customers account for 11% of our revenue. Our laboratory runs glow-wire, HDT/VSAT, DSC and FT-IR tests in-house, so results stay comparable from one lot to the next. RoHS and REACH compliance declarations are available for our grades.

What the parts need

  • Flame retardance

    Flame-retardant packages for PBT, polyamide, ABS and PC, checked on our in-house glow-wire tester.

  • Electrical insulation

    Insulating PBT, POM and PC compounds, plus an anti-static PBT grade where charge build-up matters.

  • Dimensional stability

    Glass-filled PBT and nylon hold pin positions and snap-fits in thin-walled connectors and terminals.

  • Heat resistance

    Semi-aromatic polyamide and glass-filled PBT stay rigid near coils, contacts and power electronics.

Typical parts

  • Connector housings
  • Relay bases
  • Switch components
  • Sensor housings
  • Lamp housings
  • Electrical enclosures
  • Power-tool housings
  • Power-electronics housings

Material families

PBT compounds Where versatility meets unequalled strength. Nylon compounds Overpowering all conditions. ABS & SAN compounds Unrivalled strength. Polycarbonate (PC) compounds For friction-free excellence.

Questions buyers ask

Can you test glow-wire performance in-house?

Yes. Our laboratory includes a glow-wire tester, alongside DSC, FT-IR, MFI, UTM, Izod impact and HDT/VSAT. External laboratory testing can be arranged on request when your approval needs a third-party report.

Are your grades RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes. Our grades comply with RoHS and REACH, and we provide compliance declarations together with the technical data sheet for your approval file.

Do you offer anti-static grades?

Yes. OSABATE 5000 is an unfilled anti-static PBT. Other properties, including flame retardance, UV stabilisation and glass reinforcement, can be added to any published grade on request.
