High Temperature Nylon In Consumer Electronics Application

High-temperature nylon refers to nylon materials that can be used for a long time in environments above 150°C. The melting point is generally 290°C~320°C, and the general glass fiber modification is enough for the heat distortion temperature to be greater than 290°C and to maintain excellent mechanical properties in a wide range of temperatures and high humidity environments, and the mature industrialized high-temperature nylon varieties are PA46, PA6T, PA9T, and PA10T. With excellent performance, high-temperature nylon materials are more and more widely used in the field of consumer electronics such as pen drives and cell phones.

1. Cell phone

High-temperature nylon is widely used in cell phone, cell phone center frame, antenna, camera module, speaker bracket, USB connector and so on.

Cell Phone Antenna

LDS technology can be used to make LDS antenna in cell phone, 5G smart phone antenna multi-band design is more complex, LDS antenna to meet the thin and light structure design, high degree of design freedom. ppa as LDS antenna material has excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, no foaming after lead-free welding, low warpage and so on, the radio signal depletion is very low.

Cell Phone Structural Components

5G cell phones due to the complexity of RF signals, the application of nano-injection molding process to a higher level, nano-injection molding materials need to be resistant to high temperatures, PPA is one of the materials to meet this requirement, and PPA mechanical properties are excellent, and the metal has a very good bonding force.

USB TYPE-C

5G cell phone more efficient fast charging function and fast wireless charging needs to improve the USB-C connector safety requirements, and USB connector placement is mainly based on the SMT process technology, due to the connector high-speed characteristics and the need for production and installation process, high-temperature-resistant materials have become a must, PPA has a high-temperature resistance and non-deformation characteristics, is widely used in cell phones USB.

2. Laptop, tablet

High-temperature nylon can replace metal to achieve thin and lightweight design, can be used in the laptop shell, tablet shell, excellent high temperature resistance and dimensional stability makes it widely used in the laptop fan, interface.

3. Smart Wear

High-temperature resistant nylon can also be used for smartwatch LDS stereo circuit laser laser engraved antenna as well as the case, internal bracket, and back shell and other components.

Influenced by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, telecommuting and teaching needs to enhance the global demand for notebook computers, notebook computer shipments are expected to exceed 180 million in 2020, hitting a record high.

With the accelerated construction of China's 5G network, 5G replacement tide will meet the "in progress", according to the China Communications Academy statistics, January-August, the domestic market 5G cell phone cumulative shipments of 93.679 million, accounting for 46.3% of 5G will drive the cell phone market rebound;; 5G will drive the cell phone market rebound; smart wearable market has exploded in recent years, and the global demand for notebook computers is expected to exceed 180 million in 2020, a new high.

The smart wearable market has exploded in recent years, and according to IDC, the global smart wearable market shipped a total of 86.2 million units in the second quarter of 2020, a year-on-year increase of 14.1%.

The rebound of the consumer electronics market such as cell phones, pen drives and smart wearable will drive the growth of high temperature nylon demand.
