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® 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® JTX2 has robust mechanical performance and has good reliability in thermal ageing and mechanical shocks. JTX2 has consistent performance in injection molding processing and a low risk of blistering due to its JEDEC MLS 1 rating for specified thicknesses. JTX2 is the best candidate for HB reflow headers/connectors in (automotive) electronics.
