New components for vehicles made from engineering plastics are entering into the automotive industry: the conventional combustion engines are being replaced by electrical and hybrid motors.

Requirements for the EV applications:

• Halogen free flame-retardant materials
• High voltage (CTI 600 V and even more)
• Flame resistance
• Low smoke density and toxicity
• Orange colored material
• High energy density
• Aggressive environment
• Thermal conductivity
• EMI Shielding
