Glass-filled polymer is a composite material that can be moulded. It is made up of short glass fibres embedded in a polymer matrix.
By using injection or compression moulding, a large variety of structural components are produced. It is the perfect glass substitute because it provides design freedom, chemical resistance, durability, and shatter resistance.
Due to its lower thermal expansion rate than unfilled nylon, it offers better stability when subjected to temperature variations. It is 50% tougher than regular nylon.
A glass-filled LCP for injection molding called Xydar LCP G-330 HH can maintain its electrical insulation after being exposed to 400°C for 30 minutes. Without the addition of halogen or bromine additives, Xydar LCP is a polymer that is naturally flame-resistant.
It also provides remarkable flowability, which enables battery designers to create smaller parts than they could with traditional battery module insulating materials like polycarbonates or aerogels. It has been put to the test with plates that were formed to standard sizes.
Numerous electrical and electronic applications as well as coating applications have successfully used Xydar LCP.A more sophisticated form of e-mobility includes thin-wall slot liners utilized in the rotor design of an electric drive traction motor, in addition to automotive lighting components, sensors, solenoids, and connectors.
In addition to Solef PVDF for binders and separators, Ryton PPS for coolant line connectors and vents, and Amodel PPA for connectors and busbars, Solvay’s battery solutions portfolio now offers Xydar LCP G-330 HH.
According to the Chem Polymer, a unit of Teknor Apex Company manufacturer, the compound’s comparative tracking index is more than twice as high as that of a similar compound with a halogenated (typically brominated) FR formulation, offering superior electrical performance in automotive, residential, and appliance applications like snap-fit assembly housings, circuit breakers, charger covers, and safety switches.
The new compound produces lighter pieces since it is also less dense. For the housing of an air filter used in a vehicle’s engine compartment, Chemlon 225 GVNH is already in use commercially.
Despite the fact that the Chemlon product is only UL-recognized for use in black formulations at the moment, its FR formulation is anticipated to offer a wider range of colorability than brominated FR systems and non-halogenated ones based on red phosphorus.Usually, only dark hues are allowed.
The Global Glass-filled Polymer Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
