Electrical & Electronics
Materials engineered for electrical safety and reliable performance.
Politem develops compounds for electrical and electronic components requiring controlled flammability, electrical insulation, dimensional stability and consistent processing.
Material Performance Where Safety Matters
Electrical and electronic applications combine demanding safety requirements with thin-wall design, precise moulding and long-term thermal performance. The material must support the function of the component while processing consistently at production scale.

Performance Priorities
Performance targets are selected according to component thickness, electrical function, operating temperature, environment and required safety classification.
|
• UL 94 flammability behaviour |
• Glow-wire performance |
|
• Comparative tracking resistance |
• Electrical insulation |
|
• Heat resistance |
• Dimensional stability |
|
• Low warpage |
• Mechanical strength |
|
• Hydrolysis and chemical resistance |
• Reliable thin-wall processing |
Application Driven Development
Formulation decisions may address polymer selection, reinforcement level, flame-retardant system, colour, flow behaviour and dimensional control. The objective is to reach the required property balance without adding performance that the application does not need.
TESTING AND VALIDATION
In-house evaluation may include UL 94, glow-wire, GWFI, GWIT, needle-flame and ball-pressure methods together with mechanical and thermal testing. CTI and other project-specific analyses may be coordinated externally upon request. These activities are testing capabilities and do not constitute third-party certification, listing or approval.
