Applications:

1. Radiflam ARV300 AF 830 BR is tailored for applications where fire safety, mechanical strength, and durability are paramount. Its key applications include:
2. Domestic Appliances:
   • Use Case: Housings and internal components for appliances such as washing machines, dryers, and ovens.
   • Rationale: The V-0 UL-94 rating and improved GWIT ensure compliance with fire safety standards, while the 30% glass fiber reinforcement provides the stiffness needed for durable, load-bearing parts. For example, appliance housings benefit from the resin’s ability to withstand mechanical stress and resist ignition in case of electrical faults.
3. Electrical and Electronic Components:
   • Use Case: Connectors, terminal blocks, and circuit breaker housings.
   • Rationale: The resin’s excellent electrical insulation properties, combined with its flame-retardant characteristics, make it suitable for components exposed to high voltages or potential fire hazards. The material’s high stiffness ensures dimensional stability in precision-molded parts like connectors.
4. Automotive Parts:
   • Use Case: Under-the-hood components and electrical connectors in automotive systems.
   • Rationale: The resin’s thermal stability and mechanical strength make it suitable for parts exposed to elevated temperatures and mechanical stress. Its flame-retardant properties are critical for safety in automotive electrical systems.
5. Industrial and Construction Safety Parts:
   • Use Case: Structural components in industrial equipment and construction applications requiring fire resistance.
   • Rationale: The combination of high stiffness, mechanical resistance, and flame retardancy makes this resin ideal for safety-critical parts in harsh environments, such as industrial machinery housings or fire-resistant structural elements.
