ForTii® Eco E11

30% Glass Reinforced, PA4T, Good Flow, Halogen free and free of red phosphorous, Certified V-0 at 0.15mm

General Information

ForTii® is a breakthrough high temperature polyamide with halogen-free and halogen containing flame retardant grades for demanding applications in the electronics, lighting, automotive, white goods, industrial and aerospace industries.
We developed ForTii® Eco in close co-operation with leading OEMs and tier 1 connector and socket manufacturers to ensure we give our customer what they want – and need.
That means a high temperature polyamide with a broad and versatile portfolio of grades that deliver high performance with a unique balance of properties.
Product

ForTii® Eco E11 has an excellent balance in flow, toughness and stiffness with superior processing performance for injection molding.  It has improved toughness and is suitable for SMT processes. Eco E11 has a high electrical RTI rating of 150°C at 0.75 mm and has CTI 600V. Eco E11 is Eco-friendly due to its partly bio-based content.
