Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs.
Its thermally conductive properties allow for effective heat management, but material and production costs can be high.
Replacing aluminum heat sinks with polymer ones can greatly reduce both the total cost and weight of a part.

These cost-effective thermoplastics provide LED manufacturers with an alternative to traditional polymers with no tradeoffs in performance.
Resilienceä LS Frost PVC offers equivalent properties and material performance to acrylic (PMMA) at a notably lower cost, depending on volume and profile size.
Production costs are reduced by eliminating the vacuum metallization step.
