Enabling Eco-friendly Innovation with Halogen-Free Engineering Polymers for E/E and Consumer Electronics

Ticona, the global leader in LCP for connectors, knows high-performance E/E components and what it takes to help make your business more productive and more competitive in a dynamic marketplace.  As a solutions-driven company, we are well positioned to help you develop eco-friendly innovations. For the ever-increasing demands of the electronics market, Ticona has a broad product line that complies with the RoHS directives including restrictions on heavy metals and brominated flame retardants such as polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

Vectra® LCP * Celanex® PBT * Fortron® PPS * Riteflex® TPC-ET

Vectra® LCP
Halogen-free Flame Resistance Without Additives
Vectra LCP is inherently flame resistant, halogen free and has outstanding high-temperature resistance up to 340°C.

Reasons to Choose Halogen-Free Vectra LCP:

Environmental

  • Flame resistant without additives
  • Allows lead-free soldering
  • Recyclable – regrind usage up to 50% with UL approval

Cost Advantages

  • Thinner walls
  • Extremely fast cycle times
  • Flash free
  • Competitive cost per part

Properties

  • Short-term temperature exposure up to 340°C (depending on grade)
  • Very high tensile strength and modulus in flow direction
  • High impact strength

General

  • Inherently flame resistant (UL 94 V-0, 5VA)
  • Very low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • Excellent dimensional stability

Celanex® XFR™ PBT and Riteflex® XFR™ TPC-ET
Polyesters With a Halogen-free Flame-Retardant System
To meet the demands of current regulations and environmentally conscious manufacturers, Ticona has developed a comprehensive portfolio of halogen- and antimony-free flame-resistant polyesters. Celanex XFR PBT and Riteflex XFR TPC-ET grades offer halogen-free solutions while maintaining the excellent properties of halogenated products.

Technology Features

  • Environmentally friendly flame-resistant PBT and polyester elastomer products
  • Best flame-retardant efficiency among competitive products
  • Higher CTI and GWIT performance than conventional halogenated FR-PBT grades
  • Lower density vs. conventional flame-resistant PBT products
  • Excellent colorability and exceptionally good color retention after UV exposure
  • No outgassing or leaching, which can cause copper corrosion
  • No toxic corrosive gases emitted either in fire or during processing

Fortron® PPS
Free of Halogenated Flame Retardants
Fortron PPS is inherently flame resistant and does not contain brominated flame retardants. Exhibiting an excellent balance of properties, it is stiff, strong, hard and tough, and has outstanding chemical and oxidative resistance with a continuous-use temperature that extends to 240°C.

Reasons to Choose Fortron PPS:

  • High end-use continuous temperature (especially 160°C+)
  • Broad chemical resistance without attack or degradation
  • Creep resistance, especially at elevated temperatures
  • Dimensional stability = low shrink, CTE, absorption
  • High-temperature assembly (lead-free soldering to 270°C)
  • Thin-wall design/weld line integrity
  • Excellent electrical properties
  • Hardness, abrasion resistance
  • Exceptional thermal stability in processing
  • Broader UL94 V-0 5VA approvals
  • UL94 V-0 5VA and high limiting oxygen index (LOI) without additives
    • Lower mold deposit/corrosion
    • Heavy metals/halogen compliance vs. FR additive-laced nylons, polyesters
