Charging Plugs for Electric Vehicles

Manufacturers of electric vehicle charging infrastructure are seeking to improve performance and reduce costs without compromising on aesthetics. Advanced polyamides with flame retardant (FR) additives are a popular choice for EV charging plugs, but the downsides versus additive-free materials include: poor surface appearance from UV exposure, lower mechanical performance, limited color options, and higher cost.

Envalior’s Durethan and Akulon® PA6 and PA66 material solutions offer a superior and proven alternative to common FR materials used in EV Charging Plugs. The Akulon® family of engineering materials delivers durable, affordable and versatile performance. For peace of mind, they are also tested to meet or exceed the latest UL and IEC standards for fire and electrical safety.

30% Glass Fiber Reinforced

Durethan® BKV30FN04

Durethan® is the trade name for our range of engineering thermoplastics based on polyamide 6 and polyamide 66. These polyamides are partially crystalline thermoplastics which offer an ideal combination of properties, especially for technical applications. They provide high mechanical strength and stiffness, good dielectric properties, high resistance to both heat and chemical attack, and good friction and wear properties.
