Solvay's Amodel Supreme and Bios Grades support further sustainable innovation in electric vehicles
The newly developed PPA material is designed for high-voltage motors and inverter busbars and other demanding components in power electronic equipment, and is available from Solvay. The company said that it is accelerating the pace of providing a new generation of Amodel PPA to the automotive industry to meet the higher performance and sustainability requirements of advanced electrical and electronic applications in electric vehicles.
▪ In the new Supreme series, Amodel PPA AE 9933 and AE 9950 are specifically designed for motors and inverter buses that operate at 800 volts and higher. They combine best-in-class Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) ratings with high thermal cycle shock resistance from -40 to 302 F. As a breakthrough compared with traditional PPA technology, it is reported that even during temporary exposure to peak temperatures higher than 302 F.
▪ The new halogen-free flame-retardant Amodel Bios HFFR R1-133 and HFFR R1-145 are said to meet the growing trend of integrating motors, power electronics and gearboxes into a single integrated electric drive system. These grades of CTI> 600 volts, heat resistance> 248 F and excellent dimensional stability make it possible to design highly compact systems using miniaturized components. In addition, they do not require halogenated flame retardants to provide UL94 V0 flammability ratings. In addition to solving safety issues during uncontrolled thermal excursions, halogen-free formulations can also minimize the risk of electronic corrosion.
▪ Solvay also offers Amodel Bios AE R1-133, which is an electrical-friendly grade specially developed for surface mount data connectors, which can be reflow soldered without blistering. Compared with standard PPA, the material has higher impact resistance and weld line strength, enabling designers to further reduce the wall thickness of the connector, saving up to 50% of the printed board space, and for other electronic equipment Provide more space.
Amodel PPA Supreme is said to be the highest-performance thermoelectric PPA currently on the market, while Amodel PPA Bios uses part of the bio-based long-chain molecular structure, with the highest glass transition temperature (Tg) and the lowest in the world. The warming potential (GWP) is compared with the existing long-chain PPA from biological sources.
As part of the company One Planet’s commitment to sustainability, Solvay has reduced Amodel’s CO2 footprint by 30% since 2013 and used it in PPA production at its global manufacturing facility in Augusta, Georgia 100% renewable energy.
Helping electronics, lighting, and car engines keep cool are some of the new roles of thermoplastics used to replace metals or ceramics.
The following is how to distinguish.
Plastics increase design freedom and environmental friendliness-especially when the substitute is lead.
