Abstract: A casing for an electronic device is produced from a heat-resistant, flame-retardant thermoplastic by an injection-molding process. This thermoplastic is a polyimide-based plastic with halogen-free flame retardancy.

Abstract: Metalizable foils or sheets produced from a plastics mixture comprising, components A, B, C, and D, which gives a total of 100% by weight, a from 5 to 50% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer as component A, b from 50 to 95% by weight of a metal powder with an average particle diameter of from 0.01 to 100 ?m where the normal electrode potential of the metal in acidic solution is more negative than that of silver, as component B, c from 0 to 10% by weight of a dispersing agent as component C, and d from 0 to 40% by weight of fibrous or particulate fillers or their mixtures as component D, wherein the tensile strain at break of component A is greater by a factor of from 11 to 100 than the tensile strain at break of the plastics mixture comprising components A, B, and, if present, C and D, and wherein the tensile strength of component A is greater by a factor of from 0.5 to 4 than the tensile strength of the plastics mixture comprising components A, B, and, if present, C and D.
