Abstract
The invention relates to a polyamide composition for the production of electrical and electronic components that are suitable for the conditions of the surface mounting technology. In particular, the composition exhibits a high resistance to blistering during the reflow soldering process. The composition according to the invention comprises (a) a polyamide having a melting point higher than 280° C., (b) a polymer having a melting point lower than 230° C., (c) a halogen-containing compound, (d) optionally a synergist for the flame-retardant properties (e) reinforcing material (f) optionally other additives. A particularly good resistance to blistering is achieved if (f) contains at least a compound with acid imide groups.
