In the electronics industry, plastic enclosures and connectors not only enhance safety through electrical insulation, but thermally and electrically conductive plastics provide heat transferring, cooling, anti-static, electrostatic discharge, and electromagnetic shielding performance for critical applications including integrated circuit chip packaging. Plastics are renowned for their durability, aesthetics, ease of handling and recyclability. In addition, we continue to engage and invest in the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).
