Chemicals for better circuitry
Arkema products are found in many electrical and electronic products.
Cristamid® polyamide, functionalized polyolefins, Kynar® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), Kynar Flex®, Rilsan®, and Pebax® are used in a broad range of electrical and electronic applications.
Luperox® products are employed in a variety of ways in most electrical box components, from circuit assembly materials to crosslinked wires and cable jackets.
Some Pebax® resin grades can be used for cable jackets. They combine ease of processing, low density, and springback properties that make Pebax® resins ideal for coil cables.

Halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR)
Increasingly, cables used in buildings, automotive applications, and power grids have to be halogen-free and flame retardant. Polyolefin-based compounds with a high loading of specific flame retardant additives are often the solution. Thanks to their high filler acceptance, Evatane® and Lotryl® resins are the right choice for developing these HFFR compounds. Forane® solvents are also used in a broad range of applications in printed circuit manufacture.
Cross-linking Luperox® are used in cable and wiring insulation.
