Ultramid® A3X2G7 Q724

Ultramid® A3X2G7 is a polyamide 66 (PA66) compound manufactured by BASF. It is reinforced with 35% glass fiber and contains a flame retardant based on red phosphorus. This grade is designed for injection molding and offers an outstanding combination of high stiffness, strength, and electrical insulation properties.

Key characteristics:
Base Polymer: Polyamide 66 (PA66), a high-performance engineering plastic known for its excellent balance of mechanical properties.
Reinforcement: 35% glass fiber content provides very high stiffness and strength compared to less reinforced or unreinforced grades.
Flame Retardance: It is formulated with a red phosphorus-based flame retardant, giving it a UL 94 V-0 flame rating for thicknesses of 0.75 mm, 1.5 mm, and 3.0 mm. This makes it suitable for applications with fire safety requirements.
Electrical Properties: The material features outstanding electrical insulation properties, including a high Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and volume resistivity.
Thermal Stability: It exhibits enhanced long-term stability under thermal stress. Its melting point is approximately 260°C.
Dimensional Stability: The glass fiber reinforcement ensures high dimensional stability, which is critical for precision parts.

Applications:
The combination of high mechanical strength, excellent electrical insulation, and flame retardance makes Ultramid® A3X2G7 suitable for a variety of demanding technical applications, particularly in the electrical and electronics industry.

• Electrical and Electronic (E&E) Parts: Housings, connectors, switches, and other components in electrical devices that require high-performance insulation and fire safety.
• Automotive: Electrical modules, sensors, and other components where both mechanical strength and electrical safety are crucial.
• Appliances: Internal components and housings in household appliances that need to be both robust and flame retardant.
• Industrial Components: Parts requiring high stiffness and strength, such as in control systems and power distribution.
