If heat dissipation is the primary driver, thermally conductive polymers could be an excellent alternative. Thermally conductive components: Traditionally, thermoplastics’ inherent insulating properties limited their use in heat dissipation applications. Thermally conductive plastics help dissipate the heat, adding life to the fixture while offering additional design and manufacturing benefits.

Plastics do not readily conduct electricity, or heat and cool the way metals do. While conventional plastics retain heat, plastics containing thermally conductive fillers distribute heat and carry it away from the heat source. These oxides have high thermal and electrical conductivity (although hematite can conduct more heat), can block radiation, and can dampen sound.
