What Is It?
NEXXALON™ PA66 Flame Retardant Unfilled Compound, rated FR-V0 and GWIT 960°C.
How It's Manufactured
FR additives are compounded into PA66 resin on a twin-screw line at PA66's higher processing temperature.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Switch plates are injection molded from the dried FR compound, typically in white or standard wiring-device colors, with wall thickness set to hold the FR rating at the specific plate thickness.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A switch plate mounts directly over live wiring behind it — any part in that position needs flame retardancy as a baseline safety requirement, independent of its cosmetic or mechanical performance.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Switch parts, MCB Knob" are explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA66 compounds for electrical switch plate applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
