Bada AG set a new benchmark for halogen-free flame-retardant polyamides on the plastics market with two newly developed products Badamid C70 FR HF HH and Badamid BA70 FR HF HH. Both materials captivate with an outstanding technical property profile combined with flame retardance and short cycle times in the injection moulding process.

Both material types are flame-protected according to UL94 V-0 up to a wall thickness of 0.4mm and achieve highest RTI values up to 130°C.

Bada AG has added their well-established products Badamid UL A703 GF(XY) FR HF und Badalac UL ABS 30 FR01 listed with 5VA according to UL94 to the existing Yellow Card. With this additional listing, now it is also possible to use both materials for covers and housings that are positioned in the direct vicinity of electronic contacts. Furthermore, the minimal wall thickness of 0.75 mm has been listed for Badalac UL ABS 30 FR01 enabling thinner wall thicknesses to be produced with this material, too. The new product can be coloured much better and has been further optimized with regard to its mechanical characteristics.

The materials mentioned above are topped off with the product group Badaflex UL TPE-S 40-90A FR01. This is a flame-protected soft plastic based on SEBS with a Shore-A range of 40° to 90°. Like the materials mentioned above, it is listed with UL94-V0 up to a wall thickness of 0.4mm, which makes it the ideal material for thin walled parts like gaskets that are supposed to have flame-retardant properties. We would like to highlight that Badaflex UL TPE-S 40-90A FR01 can easily be processed by injection moulding and coloured in a broad range of colours.

Have you also been worried in the last few days about the further supply of raw materials for your existing PA66-based product?
Are you currently looking for a solution?

The company Bada AG, specialized in the production of customer-specific compounds, has done extensive development work in the last few months and can now offer several alternatives to the currently scarce PA66 shortly before the start of the Fakuma. Some alternatives not only offer similar performance, Bada AG has even set itself the task of offering added value.

The product group Badamid PA-HP2 offers not only a mechanical alternative to the well-known PA66 glass-reinforced grades. Products made of this material also have 10-20% higher mechanical properties freshly injected with the same glass fibre content, play in the same league commercially and receive confirmation upon purchase that these grades are manufactured without ADN in the pre-product rail and are therefore not affected by a foreseeable shortage of this PA66 pre-product. Highly filled surfaces from this material appear mirror-smooth and the often hated glass fiber streaks are almost completely missing with this product group.

If you are looking for lower water absorption with PA66 than with PA6, Bada AG can fall back on a broad portfolio of PA6 blends, which are conditioned to have the same or lower water absorption as a comparable PA66 product. Here, too, Bada AG ensures a commercially neutral solution when designing recipes.

Have you not yet found what you are looking for with this small selection of alternatives? No problem, Bada AG offers (potential) customers a so-called "Cross Check". Simply ask for the type used so far with the corresponding technical/commercial data (application, most important characteristic values, annual quantity, lot size, scale price) and Bada AG will offer you possible alternatives with a technical data sheet.
