Envalior

Electronics

Our innovative materials are developed to meet a wide variety of technological challenges in electronics, making devices safer, thinner, stronger and more sustainable. Browse these pages to learn more about how our industry experts, scientists and engineers work hand in hand with our customers to develop next generation solutions.

Making electronic devices Safer, Thinner and More Sustainable

Electronics and smartphone components manufacturers are placing many requirements on the materials used to make the parts found in a host of applications. The materials utilized must be strong, have functional integration, and overcome the design challenges often faced when designing very small and thin pieces. The trends of miniaturization, increased structural strength and design freedom by integration put an ever higher demand on engineering plastics.

At Envalior, our materials and strong application understanding of the electronics industry can help a design engineer design thinner parts and still achieve structural properties.

  • EU rules will make connectors more sustainable to reduce electronic waste, and make consumers’ lives easier

    Soon consumers in the EU will be able to use one common charging port—the USB Type-C connector—for most of their electronics charging needs. Recently, Parliament and Council negotiators agreed that by autumn of 2024, USB Type-C connector will become the common charging port for many electronics. Although USB Type-C connectors rapidly restore electronic battery life, these connectors can create a fire hazard if made of low-performance insulating plastics. Learn about materials solutions that increase safety and enable you to deliver high-performance connectors with stringent design requirements.

  • Delivering high-performance USB-C connectors in custom colors

    Consumers expect the ability to purchase electronics accessories such as charging wires in the color of their choice. Yet, material solutions commonly used for manufacturing connectors are available in limited color options. Not only does Envalior offer advanced materials for electronics in a range of Chroma Colors, the material solutions enable manufacturers to produce USB-C connectors that process high voltage levels.
