Consumer Electronics
Electricity powers almost every aspect of our lives, at home and in our jobs, at work and at play. And everywhere that we find electricity, we also find plastics. In the kitchen, there are the labour-saving devices that we wouldn’t be without; microwave ovens, kettles, coffee machines, air fryers.
In the living room is the television and our smartphones are becoming an important part of every day living.
Plastics make progress possible, making electrical goods safer, lighter, more attractive, quieter. more environmentally friendly and more durable.
Electrical applications use plastic:
to act as an insulator
to have high distortion resistance
to have ignition-resistance
demonstrating glow wire temperature resistance in order to meet various global and local standards
Currently the industry is looking at the environmental impact and eco friendly materials.
Applications
- Connecting devices
- Enclosures for household insulations
- Switchgear
- Electricity meter housings
- Electronic housings

Electrical
Electrical applications that have electrical wires embedded in the plastic cover require the plastic to act as an insulator. This requires resins with high distortion resistance, ignition-resistance, and glow wire temperature resistance in order to meet various global and local standards.
Our broad portfolio provides ignition-resistant, completely halogen-free solutions for many electrical applications, including switches, plugs and meters.
Electric vehicles are changing automotive engineering that means new thermoplastics requirements. Acumen provides solutions for electronic and electrical vehicles applications, including 5G connectivity, EV charger and wallboxes.
Applications
- Laptops
- Mobile
- 5G communication
- TV

Electrical components
Electrical components are usually classed as the fundamemental building blocks of electrical circuits with the primary function to control or manage electricity. The parts are often small, requiring high flow materials with flame retardency. The ability to pass glow wire regulations is often a requirement. In addition, parts are soldered to circuit boards, requirement SMT functionality.
Applications
- Connectors
- Circuit breakers
- Connector housings
- Busbars
- PCB board connectors
- Optical fibre housing
- Transistors
- Capacitors
