ForTii® Ace JTX8

ForTii® Ace JTX8 is a breakthrough high-temperature polyamide with halogen-free and halogen-containing flame retardant grades. It is designed for demanding applications in the electronics, lighting, automotive, white goods, industrial, and aerospace industries. ForTii® Ace JTX8 is the only polyamide grade that secures the JEDEC MSL 1 rating at all thicknesses in all product designs. It has the highest glass transition temperature (Tg) available in polyamides (160 °C), satisfying various industry requirements such as chemical resistance and high-temperature thermal aging. It offers extremely robust processing performance and allows 100% regrinding while retaining high mechanical properties. ForTii® Ace JTX8 is processed using injection molding technology and features improved resistance to blistering.
