DSM engineering plastics provide more cost-efficient route to safer circuit breakers

Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, is the first engineering plastics supplier to offer a full portfolio of materials that can replace thermosets in demanding molded-case circuit breakers (MCCBs) with open arc extinguishing chambers. DSM has solutions for all the separate housing components, as well as for the functional internal parts in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker, resulting in a 100% safe and cost-effective solution. Jiangsu Phono Electrical Co. Ltd is the first company to use Stanyl® in an arc chamber for MCCBs.
