Successful Tier 1 audits depend on matching specific electrical benchmarks with the right polymer grade. In the rapidly evolving landscape of Electric Vehicles (EVs), material selection isn't just about performance—it's about passing critical safety technical gatekeepers that determine project viability.
Compliance Quick-Reference: EV Grade Selection
| Application Target | Key Requirements | Recommended Duranex® Grade |
|---|---|---|
| High-Voltage Connectors | UL94 V-0 + CTI 600V | Duranex 532AR / 733LD |
| BMS Housings | Flame Retardancy + Strength | Duranex 7000 Series |
| Terminal Blocks | Dielectric Strength + Glass Fiber | Duranex 3300 |
| Eco-Sensitive Markets | Halogen-Free Compliance | Duranex EF Series |
Safety Benchmarks in the 800V+ EV Era
Automotive electrification has pushed plastic components into extreme environments that traditional resins simply cannot survive. Transitioning to high-voltage platforms demands materials that act as reliable insulators under constant thermal stress.
"Safety remains the non-negotiable barrier for any component entering the EV supply chain."

Materials engineered for 800V+ platforms.
Technical Gatekeepers
UL94 V-0 and CTI are non-negotiable benchmarks.

Flame Retardancy: Beyond the UL94 V-0 Rating
A UL94 V-0 rating ensures that the material ceases burning within 10 seconds during vertical flame exposure and does not produce flaming drips that could ignite surrounding parts.
- Self-extinguishing in <10s
- No flaming drips (UL94 V-0)
- Maintains mechanical toughness

High CTI: Enabling Miniaturization
Selecting Duranex® grades with a CTI of 600V (PLC 0) provides the highest tracking resistance. This performance level allows designers to safely reduce the creepage and clearance distances between pins.
