A sustainable offering
We design products that last, with a concrete commitment: to create sustainable value for our customers and supply chains.
Household Appliances
We have been working alongside global manufacturers of small and large Household Appliances for many years, to create safe, long-lasting and increasingly sustainable products.
Engineering polymers for safe, long-lasting Household Appliances
Household Appliances contain numerous components for which the use of polyamide- and polyester-based engineering polymers is the optimal solution. In the case of unattended appliances, for example, conformity with IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60695-2-13 is required. For this reason, we have supplemented our range with specific products that guarantee “robust glow wire” performance, along with other characteristics such as flame retardant properties, electrical insulation, etc.
The range includes specific products for parts that come into contact with drinking water and food, structural parts which often replace metal, and aesthetic parts resistant to the high temperatures typical of ovens, hair straighteners and hairdryers.
For electrical applications, the range includes polyamides (Radilon®, Radiflam®), PPA (Radilon® Aestus, Radiflam®) and self-extinguishing PBT (Radiflam® B).
For applications requiring certification for contact with drinking water, we have purposely developed the Radilon® and Radistrong® range which includes special polyamides based on PA66, PA612 and PPA. Finally, the Renycle® range includes polyamides with a low environmental impact from post-consumer and post-industrial sources, and the rapidly evolving Bionside® range of polyamides from renewable sources.
Large Household Appliances
Large Household Appliances contain various components for which our products are the ideal solution. Electrical parts such as coils, motors, connectors and power module housings; structural parts like pulleys and handles; components that come into in contact with various types of fluid, such as solenoid valves – these are just some examples of successful applications.
- Dishwashers
- Washing machines
- Refrigerators
- Ovens
To work optimally, dishwashers need components that can stand up to repeated washing cycles, high temperatures and aggressive detergents. This is why we use advanced engineering polymers that guarantee mechanical stability, protection in the event of flame development, and a long working life.
Applications
Linear actuator
V0 according to UL94, high mechanical performance, high mechanical strength after ageing, easy transformation during moulding thanks to good fluidity.
Power module housing
V0 according to UL94 at 0.8 mm, GWIT >775°C.
Modern washing machines require strong and durable components that can withstand mechanical stress, temperature changes and constant humidity. Our materials make it possible to improve the durability of components subject to continuous stress, reducing the weight and increasing energy efficiency.
Applications
Handles
High mechanical properties and fatigue resistance.
Solenoid valve body
Resistance to hydrolysis and heat, suitable for contact with drinking water in cold and hot conditions.
Pulleys
Good dimensional stability, impact resistance.
From electronic circuits to cooling systems, every component of a refrigerator must guarantee maximum safety, durability and resistance to changes in temperature. RadiciGroup’s materials boost energy efficiency and ensure superior mechanical and flame retardant properties.
Applications
Electronic bodies
UL-94 V0 fireproof, free from halogen and red phosphorus, good fluidity.
Cooling system
UL-94 V0 fireproof, UL Yellow Card required, mechanical properties.
Ventilation grilles, handles and other structural parts
of the oven must withstand high temperatures, maintain their dimensional stability, and ensure safety and ease of use. To meet these requirements, RadiciGroup has developed advanced materials with excellent physical properties at elevated temperatures to improve the durability and aesthetics of components.
Applications
Ventilation grilles
Mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, excellent alternative to metals.
Door handles
Temperature resistance HDT > 230°C, impact resistance, good surface appearance.
Small electrical appliances
Small appliances contain various components for which RadiciGroup High Performance Polymers products are the ideal solution. Electrical parts such as coils, motors, connectors; structural parts like pulleys and handles; parts in contact with drinking water, such as solenoid valves are just a few examples of the successful applications of our products.
- Coffee machines
- Hairdryers
Every component of a coffee machine must withstand heat, steam and contact with food without altering its flavour. From heating systems to coffee grinders, our materials ensure mechanical strength, thermal insulation and dimensional stability, improving reliability and design.
Applications
Heating system components
Contact with food, good mechanical properties, thermal resistance.
Components for coil overmoulding
UL certification, continuous usage temperatures.
External aesthetic components
Good chemical properties, aesthetic appearance, dimensional stability, sustainability.
Coffee grinder components
Contact with food, good mechanical properties, dimensional stability.
Components for pumps and valves
Contact with food and water, good mechanical properties, resistance to hydrolysis.
A hairdryer must guarantee excellent drying results every day, withstand heavy use, and provide an ergonomic experience. Heat, impact and continuous exposure to light can compromise its quality over time.
RadiciGroup develops solutions that improve the lightness, thermal resistance and reliability of its components, for a perfect balance between strength and easy handling.
Applications
Hair straightener
Resistance to temperatures up to 230°C, impact resistance, good dimensional stability.
Hairdryer body
Heat-stabilised, good surface appearance, colour stability in sunlight, dimensional stability.
Hairdryer diffuser
