Reliable plastic components for higher current power distribution equipment

Stanyl® offers high thermal resistance for internal and external components (housings)

  • For higher nominal current strength (In) and breaking capacity (Isc), meets short term thermal and magnetic tripping demands. Gives long-term reliability.
  • Resists melt-through from heat generated during overload breaking
  • For internal components, when high mechanical properties (strength, modulus, ductility) over a wide temperature range, up to >250º, need to be combined with high creep resistance as function of temperature.
  • For high In/Isc rated MCB flanges, good balance between resistance to part erosion and ability to generate gases that pre-cool the arc prior to entering arc extinguishing chamber


Dependable flammability and insulation resistance

  • UL yellow card data at low wall thicknesses
  • Consistent and reliable UL94 ratings even when high levels of regrind are used
  • Grades specifically tested according to and meeting IEC 695 GWFI
  • RTI ratings meeting application needs
  • Dependable and sufficient electrical properties (insulation, CTI)



High productivity material

  • Excellent moldability
    • fast cycle times
    • low T-mold
    • low injection pressures
    • outstanding flow to fill multi-cavity tools
  • Capable of molding to <1mm wall thickness while maintaining mechanical and electrical properties
  • Colorable for component identification and to comply with design needs
  • High regrind levels possible; yet maintain end-part performance
