Rhodia has introduced a halogen-free range of flame retarded Technyl polyamides, dedicated to photovoltaic component applications.
The polyamides offer a solution that meets the technical, processing, regulatory and cost-performance requirements necessary for PV component manufacture.
The polyamides meet UL5VA, UL94 V-0 requirements and also conform to the ULF1 weatherability certifications. Technyl A 60G1 V25, designed specifically for junction boxes, has been rated as 5VA and ULF1 at the Underwriters Laboratories. This halogen free product also has UL94 V-0 rating and enhancedRTI, electrical and mechanical ageing performance. Technyl A 50H1 has similar flammability properties while also exhibiting improved processing behaviour, providing a suitable solution for thin walled PV connector applications.
The new photovoltaic polyamides contribute to the preservation of non-renewable resources.
