Reassess your standard raw material
Aluminum has typically served as the go-to material for thermal management.
In addition, the size required for an efficient metal heat sink may create design challenges that adversely affect nearby electronic components.

Whether you’re working on a new application or considering a material switch, selecting
the right material can expand your success.
Did you know that with the right formulation, you can achieve
properties that are as good or better than that of PA 6,6 using materials such as PA 6, PK, PBT/PET, PP,
polymer blends and even post-industrial recycled blends?
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Food
contact compliant grades are also available.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Formulated with bio-based resin and/or
10–50% filler from renewable plant sources,
Maxxam BIO formulations:
• Reduce product carbon footprint
• Achieve equivalent performance to standard
polyolefin formulations
• Provide good stiffness, durability, impact
resistance and UV stability
• Deliver good surface finish and are easy to color
• Enable customized performance characteristics
depending on application need
• Offer food contact compliance
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Maxxam BIO formulations are suitable for use across
many industries and applications where traditional
polyolefin materials are used, including:
• Transportation Interior Applications -
Decorative profiles, trunk side liners, pillars,
T-cup
• Industrial - Structural parts, furniture
• Consumer - Household goods, personal care
items, packaging, office supplies, food contact
applications
• Electrical and Electronic – Housings, buttons,
junction boxes
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with bio-based resin and/or
10–50% natural filler
• Utilize natural filler from renewable plant
sources including olive seed based powder
and cellulose fiber
• Offer a lower product carbon footprint
compared to traditional petroleum-based
feedstock
• Can be recycled at end of life
