Helpful Resources for Electrical Component Manufacturers

FAQs

What are the best materials for electrical insulation?

The best materials for electrical insulation depend on your specific application requirements. For rigid applications like electric raceways and enclosures, AuroraTec™ rigid PVC compounds and AuroraGuard™ PC and ABS compounds offer excellent dielectric strength and dimensional stability. For flexible applications like wire jacketing, AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC and TPE compounds provide superior insulation with the flexibility needed for cable applications. Our technical team can help you select the optimal material based on your temperature, voltage, and environmental requirements.

How do flame-retardant materials improve electrical safety?

Flame-retardant materials are engineered to resist ignition and limit fire spread when exposed to heat or electrical faults. Our UL 94-rated compounds self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, preventing small electrical failures from becoming catastrophic fires. Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) options are available for applications where smoke toxicity is a concern, such as enclosed public spaces and transit applications.

What materials are best for high-temperature electrical applications?

For high-temperature applications, AuroraGuard™ PEI (polyetherimide) compounds offer continuous use capability up to 340°F (170°C) with excellent thermal stability. AuroraGuard™ CPVC compounds provide high-heat performance with flame-retardant properties. Glass-fiber reinforced grades of PC/PBT and PBT compounds extend heat resistance while adding mechanical strength for demanding high-voltage applications.

Are there sustainable options for electrical insulation materials?

Yes! Aurora offers multiple sustainable material options for electrical applications. Our AuroraGuard™ PC compounds can be provided with recyclable PC content. We offer RoHS-compliant and PFAS-free formulations that meet environmental regulations while maintaining high electrical and mechanical performance. Our AuroraEcoplast™ line features sustainable polymer solutions for environmentally conscious applications.

How do impact-resistant materials improve electrical enclosures?

Impact-resistant materials like AuroraGuard™ ABS and PC/ABS compounds protect electrical components from mechanical damage during installation, operation, and transportation. Impact-modified grades provide excellent low-temperature toughness, preventing cracking in cold environments. These materials combine electrical insulation properties with the structural integrity needed for long-lasting enclosure performance.
