FR PC/ABS for an EV charger housing
How we would structure the selection of an impact-resistant, flame-retardant compound for a molded charger enclosure.
Representative scenario
This brief illustrates a common engineering pattern. It does not identify a customer or promise performance from an unvalidated grade.
Initial requirement set
- Flame requirement tied to the applicable standard and real wall thickness
- Impact performance after temperature conditioning
- Stable appearance in the target color
- Reliable molding of ribs, bosses and long flow paths
Questions for the buyer
- 01Which flame classification and tested thickness are required?
- 02Is the housing used indoors, outdoors or in a semi-exposed location?
- 03What drop, impact, heat-aging and chemical-contact tests apply?
- 04Are certification listing, color and change-control requirements fixed?
Validation path
- 01Review the incumbent grade and part specification
- 02Shortlist formulations with the correct certification scope
- 03Mold samples using a documented drying and process window
- 04Test representative parts for flame, impact, assembly and aging
