A brief analysis of the flame retardant PC material used in the housing of electric vehicle charging guns

Flame retardant PC (polycarbonate) material is a high-performance material made by adding flame retardants and other modified ingredients to the polycarbonate matrix. It has the advantages of excellent flame retardancy, good mechanical properties, good electrical insulation performance, stable heat resistance, and excellent processing performance!

In the field of new energy vehicles, flame-retardant PC materials have important applications, including the housing of electric vehicle charging guns.

As a key component in electric vehicle charging, the housing material of the charging gun must meet multiple standards and requirements. The material must possess properties such as high flame retardancy, high impact resistance, and high heat resistance. According to our understanding, both home and public charging stations utilize flame-retardant PC materials for their housings.

With the advancement of material technology, the performance of flame-retardant PC materials continues to improve. For example, Changsu PC-180S is modified with silicone-based PC. Compared to conventional PC, silicone-based PC offers greater advantages in low-temperature resistance, stress cracking, and flame retardancy. Its impact attenuation is minimal at -40°C, and the addition of a UV-P formula extends the product's outdoor lifespan.

With the popularization of new energy vehicles, the number of electric vehicles continues to increase, and the demand for charging guns is also growing, which has driven the continuous expansion of the application market of flame-retardant PC materials in the field of charging gun housings.
