THERMAL CONDUCTIVE PP

Design freedom, metal replacement and Thermally Conductive Formulations provide powerful solution for Elausa Electronics

THE CHALLENGE A manufacturer of high-quality laboratory research products was eager to expand into the conductive pipette tip market. Conductive pipette tips are primarily used in automated laboratory and production settings with robotic pipettors to measure and dispense exact amounts of liquid. Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate.
