General Information

ForTii® is a breakthrough high temperature polyamide with halogen-free and halogen containing flame retardant grades for demanding applications in the electronics, lighting, automotive, white goods, industrial and aerospace industries.
We developed ForTii® in close co-operation with leading OEMs and tier 1 connector and socket manufacturers to ensure we give our customer what they want – and need.
ForTii® Ace is a PPA with a high Glass Transition Temperature, with extreme chemical resistance, suitable for applications that need high mechanics at elevated temperatures.
Product

ForTii® Ace JTX8 is the only polyamide grade in the world that secures, in all product designs, the JEDEC MSL 1 rating at all thicknesses. Ace JTX8 has the highest Tg available in polyamides (160°C) to satisfy various industry requirements like chemical resistance and high temperature thermal ageing. Ace JTX8 has extremely robust processing performance and allows 100% regrinding with high mechanical properties retention.
