Solvay introduces sustainable Amodel Bios PPA for e-mobility electrical and electronic applications

Solvay  has extended its diversified portfolio of high-performance polyphthalamide (PPA) compounds with Amodel Bios, a new family of partially bio-based long-chain PPA products particularly indicated for demanding electrical and electronic applications in e-mobility.

Besides its renewable feedstock content from non-food competing sources, it is produced with 100% renewable electricity.

Solvay’s Amodel Bios PPA combines this sustainability with outstanding performance properties for components in e-motors, power electronics and other high-end electrical systems.

It offers the highest glass transition temperature (Tg 135°C) of all bio-based PPA in the market and a melting point (Tm) of 315°C.

Designed for injection molding, it is an ideal candidate for non-blistering reflow soldered surface mount devices (SMD) and parts in the cooling circuit of power electronics, including fluid connectors.

In addition, the limited moisture absorption of the new polymer versus standard PPA results in a high level of dimensional stability at a low risk of stress corrosion, which is particularly important with regard to miniaturized electrical connectors.

Amodel Bios PPA also provides superior impact strength even in halogen-free flame-retarded grades complying with UL94 V0, and is well-suited for colorable applications. This is complemented by high elongation, weld-line strength and excellent surface aesthetics.
