ForTii® F12

Name: ForTii® F12
Brand: ForTii®

ForTii® F12 is a breakthrough high-temperature polyamide that offers halogen-free and halogen-containing flame retardant grades, making it suitable for demanding applications in industries such as electronics, lighting, automotive, white goods, industrial, and aerospace. It exhibits an excellent balance of stiffness and toughness, making it suitable for high-mechanical load applications such as power connectors or electric vehicle (EV) parts. With a high RTI electrical rating of 140 °C at 0.75 mm and JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) Level 2 performance, it allows for surface mount technology (SMT) processes without deformation and with a low risk of blistering. The processing technology for this product is injection molding, and it is phosphorous-free.
