LIVE PART IN UNATTENDED HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES

摘要

The invention relates to plastic component for use as a live part in unattended household appliances, complying with IEC 60335 and/or VDE approval for use in unattended household appliances, wherein the plastic component is made from a halogen free flame retardant polymer composition comprising (A) a thermoplastic polyamide polymer; (B) 10-40 wt. % of glass fibers; (C) 10-40 wt. % of melam; and (D) 0-15 wt. % of a halogen free flame retardant; wherein the wt. % are relative to the total weight of the composition; with the proviso that when the polyamide or polyamides in component (A) consist of monomeric units comprising less than 10 mole % of aromatic units, relative to the total molar amount of the monomeric units, the amount of melam (C) is in the range of 15-40 wt. %.
