The disadvantage comparison with thermoplastics the reduced
flexibility thermosetting plastics.
Thermosetting plastics exhibit high dimensional stability, low water
absorption, extremely good tracking resistance and excellent fire
resistance. permissible temperature, static –60 –60 –60

Ceramics are excellent materials
for electrical engineering because
they fulfil all requirements.6 1282250000 2012/2013
.
Ceramics are resistant heat,
fluids and sparks, and are tested
for leakage currents. Thanks to
their high mechanical strength, low
losses and good heat resistance,
these materials have very high
chemical stability and are preferred
because their very low wear.

None the insulating materials used Weidmüller contain
any hazardous substances. higher thermal loads the deformation resistance of
thermosetting plastics better than that thermoplastics.
The continuous operating temperatures are higher than those of
thermoplastics
