COOLPOLY® THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE PLASTICS

Engineering plastics are good thermal insulators. This attribute, although beneficial in certain applications, limits the utility of plastics in many heat generating applications (e.g. causes hot spots, increases device temperature). Engineers are also demanding material solutions that allow increased power output in smaller spaces (ex: materials with heat thermal conductivity).

Imparting thermally conductive plastics changes the way a part responds to heat as they manage rather than survive thermal energy

Thermally conductive plastics provide the ability to meet demanding engineering requirements in many applications more cost effectively than other materials including metals, ceramics, and other plastics.
