Thermal Isolation Thermoplastics have a lower thermal conductivity than metals; this provides a consistent and more comfortable tactile feel during handling at low or elevated temperatures which can be highly desirable. Conductive – Modify the inherent electrical insulative nature of plastics with additive technologies to render them antistatic, static dissipative, conductive, or to provide EMI shielding characteristics.

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.

The diodes that produce light in LEDs are sensitive to high temperatures. PolyOne’s Therma-Tech thermally conductive materials provided Akboru Elektrik with the solution to oxidation problems on metal heat sinks. Photo Caption: Switching from metal to heat sinks molded with Therma-Tech thermally conductive polymers enabled Akboru Elektrik to increase the expected useful lifetime of pool lighting by 200%.

Homepage // News Center // Orion Shines Even More Brightly with PolyOne Therma-Tech™ Conductive Polymer FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 13, 2015 – Sylumis, a leading manufacturer of LED lighting systems based in Lieusaint, France, has successfully replaced metal with a thermally conductive polymer solution from PolyOne in a new, larger model of its Orion™ range of LED spot lamps. The transition from metal to a specialty engineered polymer solution maintained the high quality of our Orion spot lamps, enabled us to set new industry standards for innovative design, and led to more efficient manufacturing that helps us save energy during production.”
