Electrical and Electronics

In an era where electric-driven platforms and alternative energy sources are gaining prominence, Aurora Material Solutions is equipped to address the evolving challenges faced by your engineering and technical teams. For decades, electronics manufacturers have relied on our advanced materials and compounds across a range of traditional electrical applications, such as enclosures, junction boxes, connectors, and wire and cable jacketing. Additionally, we have been at the forefront of supporting emerging industries, developing both standard and custom-engineered compounds for critical components in EV battery storage systems, solar energy infrastructure, and 5G communication technologies.

Aurora Material Solutions offers custom PVC compounding to ensure your Electronics or Electrical component products meet or exceed UL & CSA standards.

We Know What Matters

When you work with Aurora Material Solutions, we serve as an extension of your technical team. In addition to recommending or customizing a compound that meets your unique performance parameters, we’ll help streamline your testing timeline – so you have materials that are easy to procure, ready to test, and scalable for easy processing to meet your manufacturing needs. We’ll also work with you to make sure that the solution selected meets any UL or CSA standards needed for your application.

Aurora Material Solutions offers custom PVC compounding that adheres to the strict UL & CSA standards for electrical or electronics components

Your Standards Are Our Standards

Not all electrical and electronic equipment is engineered to the same standards, making the selection of components critical to ensuring safety, durability, and reliable performance. At Aurora Material Solutions, we recognize that every part of each component contributes to the overall quality of your product. That’s why we design our compounds with superior base properties, which can be precisely tailored to meet your specific application requirements. Many of our compounds are customizable with performance-enhancing modifiers to provide flame resistance, chemical resistance, and environmental durability. We offer solutions that adhere to key industry standards, including:

UL 94 flammability ratings
UL RTI ratings for high-temperature exposure
UL 746B standard for thermal degradation resistance
F1 rating for outdoor weatherability and UV resistance

This ensures your components not only meet regulatory requirements but also deliver optimized performance in demanding environments.

Our Electrical and Electronics Solutions:

AuroraGuard™ PC (polycarbonate) compounds are amorphous, thermoplastics that possess outstanding impact strength, excellent colorability, and superior heat resistance with good electrical and thermal properties, low- temperature toughness, and superior dimensional stability. They can be provided unfilled or filled with specialized fillers, mineral or fiberglass reinforcement. PC compounds are available in flame-retardant grades (both non-halogenated and brominated), a wide range of melt viscosities, and can be offered with recyclable PC content and ultraviolet (UV) stabilized grades for outdoor weatherable applications. The polycarbonate (PC) product family complies with FDA (Food and Drug Administration), REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and UL listed (UL 94).
AuroraGuard™ PC/ABS alloys provide impact strength, heat resistance, colorability, enhanced chemical resistance, very good aesthetics and dimensional stability. These compounds are also available in a recyclable grade series, which are filled with specialized fillers, minerals, or glass. These grades exhibit a superb combination of thermal and mechanical properties, excellent impact strength, high heat resistance, dimensional stability, great processability, flame retardancy, and a wide range of viscosities. AuroraGuard PC/ABS is often used for handheld scanners at checkout counters.
AuroraTec™ PC/PBT (polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate) compounds are made from alloys of amorphous polycarbonate and the semi-crystalline polybutylene terephthalate resin. They offer excellent chemical resistance, making AuroraTec PC/PBT ideal for electrical connectors located in harsh environments and outdoor connector boxes. Impact-modified AuroraTec PC/PBT grades can provide a high level of impact strength at low temperatures. There are also flame-retardant grades (both non-halogenated and brominated), glass filled grades, and UV stabilized grades.
AuroraGuard™ ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) combines the strength and rigidity of the acrylonitrile and styrene polymers with the toughness of the polybutadiene rubber, making them a great choice for electronic enclosures and computer keyboards.

AuroraGuard™ PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic, classified as a semi-crystalline polyester. PBT exhibits outstanding chemical resistance, a very low shrink rate during molding, and excellent mechanical strength. It offers heat resistance up to 150°C, or up to 200°C when reinforced with glass fibers. In electrical applications, glass fiber-reinforced PBT is commonly used in connector materials, meeting stringent performance criteria such as UL 94 V0 flame retardance. This material also provides superior strength, toughness, low moisture absorption, and stable electrical and dimensional properties. Additionally, AuroraGuard™ PBT delivers excellent surface quality and luster, with no visible fiber floatation, making it ideal for both functional and aesthetic components in high-demand environments.
AuroraGuard™ PEI (polyetherimide) compounds start from the base resin, amorphous polyetherimide, which is an amber-to-transparent thermoplastic with characteristics similar to the related, much more costly plastic PEEK. Our PEI compounds are inherently flame resistant and provide a high resistance to elevated temperatures and solvents. Compounds within the AuroraGuard PEI family provide high mechanical property performance in continuous use environments to 340°F (170°C). Their toughness and rigidity can be further enhanced with fiberglass reinforcement.
AuroraTec™ PC/PET (polycarbonate/polyethylene terephthalate) alloys deliver exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, making them highly suitable for a wide range of demanding military applications. These alloys offer superior durability and resistance to chemicals, weathering, and UV exposure, making them ideal for use in harsh operational environments. By combining the high-temperature resistance and dimensional stability of polycarbonate with the chemical resistance and toughness of PET, AuroraTec™ PC/PET alloys provide an optimal balance of strength and impact resistance. This makes them a preferred choice for electronic enclosures and housings, where structural integrity and reliability are paramount.
