Based on its location under the hood, the material needed to provide a heat deflection temperature (HDT) rating of 68°C HDT at a load of 264 psi. This solution met the standards for heat resistance, physical properties and processing parameters. 

In both cases, our experts helped innovative customers replace metal with specialty polymer formulations that can conduct heat, provide electrical insulation, or conduct electricity,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe, PolyOne Corporation. The two companies teamed up to develop an all-plastic temperature sensor in the 2015 Ford Edge to control heating and cooling of the vehicle’s interior.

Variations in the aesthetic appearance of rPET are caused by multiple heat cycles, as the material is recovered and reused. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.

Can be polished or heat-treated. Heat-treats and polishes well. Heat-treats and polishes well. 

If the heaters are on continuously, there is not enough heat being produced from shear. To increase shear heating, increase the screw rpm and back pressure. Increasing the back pressure increases shear heating of the material.

Processing aids can be used to achieve an improved surface finish, expanded heat processing window, elimination of die drool, and higher line speeds.  Heat transfer capabilities of metal with design freedom and weight reduction of engineered polymers

Achieve high heat resistance with this line of bright and vibrant colors, formulated specifically for healthcare applications. Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants are based in polysulfone resins, allowing the material to withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles as well as high heat sterilization to 150℃.

Superior Performance: With ultra-high heat and chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and dimensional stability, our PEEK compounds are perfect for applications requiring multiple re-sterilization and rigorous disinfection. Features ultra-high heat and chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and high purity

Heat Resistance In high-heat applications, for instance, LSR is the preferred material solution.

But because ADAS housing applications are typically convection limited, custom formulated thermoplastics can do the job of dissipating heat exceptionally well. The very high conductivity of metals simply may be more than is needed to prevent damage from heat build-up.
