To meet the growing demand for sustainability in technical materials, LATI also offers Green LATIECO versions, compounds made from recycled raw materials designed to deliver maximum performance.
LATIECO 66 MR H2 G/25-V0HF1 and LATIECO 66 MR H2 G/25-V0KB3, made from mechanically recycled base polymer, provide a sustainable alternative to traditional compounds, maintaining the fire resistance and structural stability of their standard versions.
These innovative materials not only meet safety and performance standards but also address environmental needs, making LATI the ideal choice for companies like EFEN that aim to combine quality and sustainability in their electrical current management solutions.
Request the technical datasheet or a sample to experience the outstanding qualities of LATAMID and LATIECO compounds. Test them in your industrial applications and discover how these plastic materials can truly make a difference in your projects, both in terms of performance and environmental impact.
The self-extinguishing compounds limit the risk of fire in electrical and electronic, home appliance and e-mobility applications.
In the dynamic landscape of electronics, innovation is paramount to address the demands of miniaturization, automation, and hyperconnection.
In case of high temperatures, standard self-extinguishing compounds may not be the best solution and other types of materials should be preferred, such as LATI's LARAMID G/30-V0HF1, based on aromatic polyamide. Read the SCAME case!
