maintaining tensile strength in high heat and humidity environments. Zytel PA 80G43EF is an electrically friendly polyamide with exceptional stress crack resistance, designed for over moulded automotive electrical and electronic applications such as transmission control units, connectors, and sensors. It can replace thermoset epoxy without requiring retooling, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution while the full portfolio includes various electrically friendly grades with higher volume resistivity and dielectric strength compared to standard inorganic stabilised grades. Fortron PPS 1140L4, introduced earlier this year in the EMEA region and now available in North America, is engineered to withstand high temperatures and resist hydrolysis, making it ideal for battery coolant systems and other thermal management modules in EVs. It supports thinner wall designs, enabling more compact and efficient components, and serves as a drop-in replacement for other PPS materials. “As the automotive industry fast-tracks toward electrification, Celanese is proud to support this transition with materials that not only meet the highest standards of performance

but also contribute to a cleaner, greener future,” said Tom Kelly, Senior Vice President of Engineered Materials at Celanese.
Connectors BASF is complementing its PPA portfolio with Ultramid Advanced N3U42G6, a polyamide 9T with non-halogenated flame-retardant, which minimises electro-corrosion of metal contacts in E&E parts. The PPA increases the safety and durability of
