electrical and electronic engineering plastics application

Compared with general plastics, engineering plastics has more excellent mechanical properties, electrical properties, chemical resistance, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, dimension stability, etc; Compared with metal materials, engineering plastics has the advantages of light weight, small energy consumption when molding. Engineering plastics has become the world's plastics industry developing the fastest growing materials

In Asia, engineering plastics are mainly used in electrical industry, more than 50%, and in Europe and the United States, engineering plastics are mainly used in automotive industry. From 1998 to 1998 China engineering plastics consumption annual average increase rate of 26% (see chart 1). Is expected in the next few years the growth rate of 15% ~ 18%. As China's electrical products exports increased year by year, the dosage of the engineering plastics is on the rise. Although the current domestic product technology content and added value is very low, but this does not affect the huge demand for engineering plastics manufacturing. Under cost pressure, requirement for material localization is more and more obvious, which provides a broad prospect of application for engineering plastic.

Commonly used on electrical and electronic engineering plastics

1. The PA (nylon)

PA is characteristic of good toughness and high mechanical strength, wear resistance, but easy bibulous deformation. Mainly used in the manufacture of machine tools in electrical and electronic appliances, air switches, connectors, all kinds of coil skeleton; Tape recorder, video camera, video camera, DVD, OA equipment, machine core, skeleton, supporting parts, gear, wheel; As well as the cable bracket, brace, gear, wheel; And the cable sheath, household appliances, small appliances, etc.

2. PC (polycarbonate)

The advantage of PC is transparent, high impact strength, good mechanical strength, size stability. Drawback is not resistant to solvents, easy to produce stress cracking. Mainly used in the transparent parts of the electrical appliances (such as window, shell, panel, etc.).

PC/ABS alloy is more used in electrical appliances shell, display case, mobile phone shell, shell, batteries, laptop charger shell; Cable connector, OA equipment and small home appliance products.

3. The POM (POM)

POM has superior mechanical properties. Wear resistance and size stability, resistance to chemical corrosion, fatigue resistance, but poor thermal performance, flammable easy decomposition, notch sensitivity. Mainly used in electrical appliances, instrument structure, all kinds of gear, CAM, driving wheel, the recording tape axis core, floppy disks, the doors of machine tool electrical appliances.
