Greene Tweed highlights its innovative Arlon 3000 XT thermoplastic for electronics applications in a brief, informative video. The product offers excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance, extremely low moisture absorption, exceptionally low wear, and high impact resistance.

The product is claimed to be the world’s first and only cross-linked, semi-crystalline polyketone solution, produces excellent high-temperature performance over other plastics employed in the electronics and electrical markets (above 460C). Due to its salient dielectric properties, this exceptional thermoplastic can provide better electrical insulation and dissipation, faster signal throughput, and excellent noise-abating characteristics over current materials, and is capable of load-bearing over the glass transition point (Tg). It also offers significantly decreased susceptibility to moisture and steam.

The material satisfies the growing demand for advanced plastic materials in electronics and electrical applications. This patent-pending thermoplastic is excellent for usage in connectors, sensors, and high-voltage insulators.
