Compounds for Home Appliances, Medical Devices and Home Automation Certified

Ideal Materials for Household Appliances, Home Automation and Medical Devices

In the home appliances and consumer goods sector, materials must combine functionality, safety and aesthetic quality. LATI offers compounds that meet these requirements, and many grades from the LATAMID, LATIGLOSS, LARTON, LATILUB and LATI MDT families enable the design of components that combine mechanical and thermal resistance, flame retardancy, aesthetics, durability and ease of molding.

Major and Small Appliances

LATI produces solutions for every type of home appliance, from washing machines to coffee makers, from dishwashers to vacuum cleaners. LATI compounds meet the requirements for safety, durability, chemical resistance and aesthetic quality, even for professional equipment.

The LATI range offers:

Certified flame-retardant compounds, with UL94 V0 rating even at low thicknesses and with GWIT and GWFI compliant with IEC 60335 standard for fire risk prevention.
Materials certified for contact with water and food, ideal for components such as tanks, fittings, valves and internal supports, for example in domestic, professional and vending coffee machines.
Chemical resistance and dimensional stability even in the presence of high temperatures and steam, disinfectants, descalers or detergents. Ideal materials based on PA, PPA, PPS and PEEK for elements exposed to intense thermal cycles, for example inside dishwashers or commercial ovens.
LATILUB self-lubricating materials for components in relative motion such as levers, gears and guides, capable of reducing friction and extending service life even in harsh environments without external lubrication.
Materials for high-quality aesthetic parts, glossy and defect-free, perfect for housings, panels, visible covers, and with LATIGLOSS also for structural elements.

Power Tools

Whether designed for hobby, domestic or professional use, modern power tools must comply with strict safety standards and ensure long-term reliability. Power management of motors and batteries, as well as the actual tool, requires durable and safe materials.

LATAMID structural materials, toughened and with high aesthetic retention, reinforced with glass or carbon fiber to optimize resistance to impacts, vibrations and intensive use.
LATILUB self-lubricating compounds for various internal mechanisms, gear trains and various kinematic systems capable of operating without external lubrication and maintenance.
Flame-retardant grades wherever flame resistance is needed
Antistatic LATIOHM and LATISTAT to prevent static charge buildup and ensure safety in the presence of explosive atmospheres subject to ATEX regulations.

Home Automation and Smart Home

LATI materials can be used in all types of home automation applications: thermostats, various automations, alarm systems, sensors, switches, control units.

The entire LATI range finds application in the smart home, particularly:

Aesthetic and structural LATIGLOSS compounds for covers, housings and visible structural components.
Halogen-free flame-retardant compounds for safety in domestic environments.
LATIOHM antistatic materials and electromagnetic radiation shielding LATISHIELD materials to protect electronics and communication quality between various devices.

Medical

LATI offers solutions for diagnostic and therapeutic equipment as well as non-implantable medical devices. In particular, we highlight:

Radio-opaque LATIGRAY materials observable or shielding to X-rays for use in radiology.
MDT materials detectable by metal detectors, or X-rays, for traceability of contaminating plastic particles in products intended for the pharmaceutical industry.
Products from the LASULF, LAPEX A and LAPEX R families for maximum resistance to disinfectants and sanitizers, ideal for repeated sterilizations with both steam and other chemical agents.
Antimicrobial and UV-sterilizable materials for objects intended for public use.

Sports and Leisure

For sporting goods and accessories:

Reinforced and toughened structural materials from the KELON, LATAMID and LARAMID families, for lightweight and robust components, resistant to all types of environments and treatments
LATILUB self-lubricating compounds, for parts subject to relative motion and wear, even in the presence of dust and sand.
LATIMASS controlled density grades, for creating very light or very heavy elements.
