With outstanding advantages in terms of technical characteristics and ease of use, engineering plastic compounds are widely applied in many fields, including electrical and electronic industries.
In recent years, engineering plastic compounds have been known as a new material solution for finished plastic products with complex structures and high mechanical precision requirements, especially in the electrical and electronic industry.
With the advantage of being tailor-made based on the characteristics of the end product, engineering plastic compounds carry all the necessary features of the finished product in a single material. Applying compounds in the production of electrical and electronic equipment not only helps manufacturers improve the quality of finished products, but also saves time in handling raw materials, thereby improving productivity and competitiveness.
Below are the most common applications of engineering plastic compounds in the production of electrical and electronic equipment that businesses can refer to.
With strict technical requirements in terms of rigidity, electrical insulation, and good sound transmission, compound ABS is the ideal material for the production of phone cases. The product is a combination of ABS resin base, appropriate reinforcements, and additives. Using ABS compound helps the finished product to have good mechanical properties, good electrical insulation, and good transmission, and achieve aesthetic requirements such as diverse colors, uniform color dispersion, and smooth, bright, and glossy surfaces.
Most importantly, all features are concentrated in a single masterbatch granular material, allowing the manufacturer to directly create the finished product without having to go through the process of mixing raw materials.

One more practical application of compound engineering plastic is phone chargers. This is a finished product with high mechanical requirements, good fire resistance as well as absolute mechanical accuracy. And compound PC is the choice trusted by many manufacturers. Why?
- Good mechanical properties: With a strong structure, compound PC helps the finished product to achieve the desired stiffness.
- Dimensional stability: The texture of PC plastic helps to minimize shrinkage occurring during the machining process, thereby minimizing technical errors, and helping the finished product to have high sharpness.
- Fire resistance: An outstanding advantage that makes compound PC one of the top choices in the production of electrical equipment is their ability to resist fire. The material easily meets fireproof standards such as V0, V1, V2 or 5VA depending on the requirements of the finished product and the manufacturer's side.
In the past, plastic parts in electric meters were often made of synthetic materials (composite materials) thanks to their good mechanical properties and high resistance to weather, heat and chemicals. However, the disadvantage of composite materials is that it is difficult to recycle, often causing environmental pollution after disposal. Therefore, manufacturers are gradually turning to compound PC as a more optimal choice.
PP compound is a material that has been receiving positive feedback from generator plastic manufacturers. The material is a combination of PP resin base, additives, and reinforcements in accordance with the requirements of the finished product. This helps the product achieve the standard stiffness, reduce shrinkage, and increase impact resistance and heat resistance. These are important requirements to help generators operate efficiently and long-term, and at the same time limit the risk of fire, explosion, and short-circuit causing danger to users.
Advertising light box is one of the applications that make it difficult to find production materials because of the relatively strict technical requirements for hardness, heat resistance, and especially light scattering ability.
With a mixture of primary resin and special additives, the finished product has the good light scattering ability, high hardness and dimensional stability, and good fire resistance. At the same time, the weather-stabilizing additive component also limits the environmental impact on the plastic surface, improving the durability of the product, and thereby improving the efficiency of use.
EuroPlas compound is a high-tech plastic material made from primary plastic, combined with special reinforcements and additives to meet the specific requirements of each finished plastic product. Using engineering plastic compounds has become a new material trend in the modern plastic industry, not only improving the quality of finished products but also helping to optimize the production process, save time and improve productivity for plastic manufacturers.
