Elettra s.r.l. presents itself as a leader in the field of testing and characterizing the behavior of plastic materials used in electrical and electronic equipment. With a highly specialized and cutting-edge structure, the company stands as a reference point for anyone needing to conduct accurate analyses and tests on the flammability, tracking resistance, and insulation properties of plastic materials destined for critical sectors such as the electrical and electronic industries.

One of Elettra s.r.l.'s distinctive competencies lies in conducting flammability tests, a crucial aspect in the design of electronic devices. The company employs standardized methods as defined in EN 60695-11-5 (needle flame) and EN 60695-11-10 (vertical and horizontal flame). These tests provide in-depth analysis of the behavior of plastic materials in potential fire-risk situations, ensuring they meet the highest safety standards.

Another area of excellence for Elettra s.r.l. is in conducting glow wire flammability tests, following EN 60695-2-12 standards. These tests evaluate the reaction of plastic materials to contact with a heat source, similar to an overheating condition, providing crucial insights to ensure the safety and reliability of materials used even in extreme situations.

Safety is a fundamental priority, and Elettra s.r.l. demonstrates this through tracking resistance tests according to IEC 60112 standards. These tests include the Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and the Proof Tracking Index (PTI), assessing the ability of plastic materials to resist the accumulation of conductive deposits that could compromise the performance and safety of electrical and electronic devices.

Insulation tests with direct voltage, industrial frequency, and impulse voltage according to EN 61180 standards represent another pillar of Elettra s.r.l.'s competencies. These tests are essential to ensure that the plastic materials used in electrical and electronic equipment maintain their dielectric properties even under critical conditions.

Elettra s.r.l.'s approach to characterizing plastic materials is characterized by precision, reliability, and a constant commitment to innovation. The advanced technological structure and highly qualified staff ensure that customers receive accurate and detailed results, providing them with the confidence they need in the quality and safety of the materials used in their products.
