ForTii® T11

30% Glass Reinforced, PA4T, Electro-friendly, Halogen free and free of red phosphorous, Certified V-0 at 0.2mm

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® T11 has optimal toughness and is the best solution for (automotive) electrical components in harsh environments to minimize the risk of cracking and to provide design freedom and product reliability in terms of thermal shock ageing >1000 cycles. T11 passes JEDEC MSL 1 reflow performance (for specified thickness), reaches CTI ≥800V for heavy duty components, is all-color VDE approved and has electrical RTI rating of 140°C at 0,75 mm.
