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.
ForTii® Ace is a PPA with a high Glass Transition Temperature, with extreme chemical resistance, suitable for applications that need high mechanics at elevated temperatures.
Product
ForTii® Ace MX54B is a high Tg PPA combining good toughness at low temperatures and chemical resistance. It is designed to have a dimensional stability close to aluminum. It has a high mechanical performance over a broad temperature range, from -35°C to above 150°C, both in dry as well as conditioned environment.
