Heilbronn/Germany, October 2025 – Brüggemann has expanded its portfolio to include high-performance polyamide flow enhancers and thermostabilizers that set new heat exposure and design freedom standards, especially for glass fiber reinforced polyamides. These innovative developments allow lighter, more complex part designs to meet the evolving requirements of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and part designers. Applications that benefit from these improved properties include thin-walled connector systems that are exposed to high mechanical and thermal loads during use.

For long flow paths and low wall thicknesses
Brüggemann’s family of highly efficient, flow enhancers offer solutions for all types of polyamides while maintaining their mechanical property profile. Bruggolen P1810 improves the flowability of semi-aromatic polyamides, while Bruggolen P1507 does the same for aliphatic polyamides. Introducing these additives allows easy processing of materials with very high glass fiber contents of up to 60 wt.-%.

The flow enhancer Bruggolen P2201 is used when a combination of flowability and flame retardancy is required, since it does not impair flame resistance. This allows glass fiber-reinforced polyamides to be used for components with long flow paths that have both very good electrical properties and a V0 classification according to UL94.

In addition to improved mold filling capacity, users of PA compounds containing these additives benefit from a wider processing window and increased cost efficiency. The positive attributes include significantly shorter cycle times, lower injection pressures, and in some cases the use of smaller tools and injection molding machines, which contribute to an overall reduction in energy consumption and thus the product carbon footprint.

High thermal stability and electrical neutrality
To meet the growing demands of the electrical & electronics (E&E) industry and e- mobility, the metal- and halogen free stabilizers Bruggolen TP-H2062 and TP-H2217 enable the production of polyamides to be used at high operating temperatures. Bruggolen TP-H2217 increases the continuous use temperature of reinforced PA up to 170 °C for 8,000 hours, setting a new benchmark without affecting flame retardancy. Bruggolen TP-H2062 and TP-H2217 overcome the limitations of conventional stabilizer systems. Neither type impairs electrical properties, such as the comparative tracking index (CTI), nor do they have a corrosive effect on metallic components, such as overmolded sensors or in busbar applications.

Other outstanding heat stabilizers in Brüggemann's portfolio include Bruggolen TP-H1804 and Bruggolen TP-H1805. Bruggolen TP-H1804 is the best-in-class heat stabilizer for both reinforced and non-reinforced aliphatic polyamides, at continuous use temperatures ranging from 160°C to 190°C. It significantly outperforms copper salt-based stabilizers in terms of maintaining mechanical properties. In contrast, Bruggolen TP-H1805 stabilizes reinforced aliphatic polyamides at continuous use temperatures of up to 200°C (for PA6) and 230°C (for PA6.6).
