The present invention provides a composite material comprising of a polyamide material including PA66, and/or a fluoropolymer material including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), glass fibers, additives and pigments and method of its preparation by compounding extrusion or injection moulding processes. The composite material sustains the high heat generated due to spark in the electrical circuit, has lowest coefficient of friction (COF) so that the socket shutter provides smooth operation of inserting and removing the plug, has very low cycle time in injection moulding process ensuring high productivity and provides custom made colours required for aesthetic purpose.
