Power & electronics

Thermoplastic and fibre composites are important component materials in the electrical industry. Their advantages include:

• Insulating ability
• High strength/weight ratio
• Resistance to heat
• Resistance to corrosion
• Self-closing properties

High-voltage applications
Primo's pultrusion of fibre composites cover a broad standard range for the electric power industry. Injection-moulded components complement the profile range.

• Spacer profiles for transformers
• Profiles for distribution plant cabinets
• Third-rail profiles for light railways
• Umbilicals and filler profiles for the cable industry

Low-voltage applications
Primo plastics also open opportunities for design. Extruded and injection-moulded polymers provide attractive, lightweight and durable parts for electronic appliances:

• Mobile phones
• Hearing aids
• Dish antennae
• Audio cabinets
• Appliance housings
• Parts for coffeemakers
• Vacuum cleaner hoses
