Durethan DP BM 65 X FM30 from LANXESS passes the tests for the upcoming European standard on fire protection in rail vehicles with the best possible rating “Hazard Level 3” for specific applications.
Studies by Weidmüller and LANXESS have shown that plug connectors and PCB terminals made of non-hydrolysis-stabilized PBT are extremely durable in natural global climates.
