Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations Thermal Conductivity in Plate Heat Exchanger

Thermally Conductive Dispersions: Silcosperse™ TC Enhanced thermal conductivity for silicone materials.

Special fillers, however, can make a plastic compound electrically or thermally conductive. Some fillers make plastics electrically and thermally conductive, and others add thermal conductivity without electrical conductivity. such as conductive carbon black, graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotubes) and some are thermally and electrically conductive.

Thermal Management: Thermal management is crucial to battery performance and longevity. Engineered polymers can be designed with specific thermal properties, possessing either excellent thermal conductivity or enabling efficient heat dissipation from the battery cells. Thermally conductive formulations can also be electrically isolative or conductive, combining thermal performance with protection from electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference, depending on the needs of the specific component. 

Improves thermal conductivity, cutting time for plastication and cooling

Lower thermal conductivity

The company’s product engineers developed specifications that included thermal conductivity in plane from 4 to 21 W/m.K (in compliance with ASTM E1461); glow wire resistance of 850°C/0.8mm (IEC 606095-2-12); and enough dimensional stability to allow it to be overmolded directly on LED components. A collaborative team from the two companies looked at potential options before developing a material that combined two grades of Avient’s Therma-Tech™ thermal management formulations.  The material added immediate benefits including: complex designs at lower costs than metal; lighter weight; inherent corrosion resistance; adaptability for ingress protection up to IP67; high heat resistance; compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability standards; and options for either electrically conductive or insulating properties.

Overheating – Oftentimes, designers choose aluminum for its excellent thermal conductivity properties. The very high conductivity of metals simply may be more than is needed to prevent damage from heat build-up. Weight, weight, weight – Engineered polymers can be formulated to provide excellent thermal management, static dissipation and EMI/RFI shielding performance for your ADAS housing at a lighter weight than aluminum.
