Modified plastics play an important role in the power tool industry, which not only improves the strength, heat resistance, wear resistance and flame retardancy of the material, but also meets the needs of power tools in terms of miniaturisation, lightweighting and high performance. Through the modified technology, the plastic material can withstand the requirements of power tools in high load and high temperature environment for a long time operation, and at the same time reduce the cost, improve the competitiveness of the product market. The application of modified plastics makes power tools safer, more reliable and easier to process and mould, providing greater flexibility in the design and manufacture of power tools.
Industry pain point
Lightweight requirements
Handheld tools need to be reduced in weight to enhance the user experience, but structural strength needs to be maintained.
Insulation safety
Motor parts require high CTI (Leakage Starting Trace Index >600V) materials.
Insufficient mechanical strength
The tool housing is prone to cracking under high impact, and the gears/bearing parts are prone to wear.
Solutions & Benefits
High CTI insulating materials
Solution: Alloy modification with CTI value up to 675V and arc resistance at the same time.
Advantage: Passed IEC 60695 fire test, suitable for high voltage scenario of lithium battery tools
Microfoam Lightweight Technology
Solution: Supercritical nitrogen foaming process, 15%-25% density reduction, maintaining the same tensile strength (>100MPa).
Advantage: Reduce the weight of electric hammer/cutting machine, reduce user fatigue.
