If heat dissipation is the primary driver, thermally conductive polymers could be an excellent alternative.
With thermally conductive polymers, it is possible to reach thermal conductivities up to 20 W/m⋅K (in-plane).
Thermally conductive plastics help dissipate the heat, adding life to the fixture while offering additional design and manufacturing benefits.
