As a new division of Dow DuPont Specialty Products that provides engineering plastics, elastomers, lubricants, and specialty silicon materials, DuPont Transportation and Advanced Materials will launch at CHINAPLAS in 2018. The new DuPontTM Zytel® HTNFR42G30NH halogen-free flame-retardant high-performance polyamide product. This product is a bio-based material developed for the application of SMT (acronym for Surface Mount Technology) connectors. DuPont is committed to introducing higher performance Bio-based materials to meet increasingly stringent industry standards and requirements. This new halogen-free, flame-retardant, bio-based, high-performance polyamide resin can adapt to the changing trends of the SMT connector market and help customers improve safety. Improve the balance between increasing productivity and achieving cost-effectiveness.
This new product enriches the Zytel® family of polyamides, allowing customers to select the right materials for their specific project needs. In addition, the product balances the gap between the cost-effectiveness of traditional engineering plastics and high-end specialty polymers and provides metal and thermosetting resins. An excellent alternative solution for a wide range of uses.
Broaden SMT New product of connector product line
Zytel® HTNFR42G30NH is a 30% glass fiber reinforced, flame retardant high performance polyamide resin developed for connector applications. This new high temperature resistant polyamide (PPA) complements nylon and expensive specialty polymers The performance gap, and ease of processing, its advantages include:
· Better safety: 0.4mm UL 94 V0 flammability rating, excellent fluidity, up to 600V CTI (Relative tracking index).
· More productive: Zytel® HTNFR42G30NH has better reflow performance and higher weld line strength compared to similar products. Connectors molded with Zytel® HTNFR42G30NH also have a SMT reflow temperature of 280°C. No blistering; improved weld line strength also helps reduce breakage. Excellent flow and better weld line strength, provides higher design for multiple pins, fine pitch, low profile, small connectors flexibility.
· Better cost-effectiveness: Continuous forming test results show that the use of Zytel® HTNFR42G30NH can reduce the corrosion of injection molding equipment compared to PA 9T and PA4T series products. In addition, due to the very small deposits in the mold, it also reduces the need for mold maintenance. .
The use of SMT process to manufacture connectors has a very wide range of applications in the automotive and consumer electronics fields. With Asia becoming the world's leading connector manufacturer or assembly site, DuPont expects that the product will have a great demand in the Chinese market.
DuPont is committed to driving the industry through continuous innovation, and continues to develop environmentally-friendly products with better performance to meet or exceed industry standards. Our high-performance polyamide solutions meet global standards through innovative and value-added products. In the electrical and electronic industry, Zytel® HTN is commonly used in the manufacture of connectors, high-voltage insulators and handheld devices. Zytel® HTNFR42G30NH is a new product that combines good mechanical and electrical properties, low moisture absorption, and excellent formability. The advantages of low mold corrosion, compared with other products are more competitive, especially suitable for SMT connector applications. This product greatly enriches our product portfolio for the solution-driven consumer market.
