ForTii® MX15HR

35% Glass Reinforced, PA4T, Electro-friendly, Enhanced Hydrolytic Stability, for Automotive applications

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.
That means a high temperature polyamide with a broad and versatile portfolio of grades that deliver high performance with a unique balance of properties.
Product

ForTii® MX15HR exhibits enhanced hydrolytic stability towards aggressive coolants (water/glycol, 135°C) that are used in engine's thermal management systems. It has excellent mechanical performance and weld-line resistance.
