Design freedom, metal replacement and Thermally Conductive Formulations provide powerful solution for Elausa Electronics Metal replacement, design improvements and Complēt™ long fiber technology provide powerful solution for Bettcher Industries Bergamid™ polymer formulations and GLS™ TPEs replace metal and provide comfort and usability for Swiss soldiers pocket knife

Take, for instance, using FEA for a metal-to-plastic conversion. If you are used to designing in metals, you might be surprised when a polymer’s technical data sheet does not translate into part performance you anticipated. Many metals can approximate linear elastic behavior, but polymer behavior is not so easily simplified to one modulus, making it more challenging to predict performance based on a data sheet.

Engineered Polymer Formulations | Healthcare , Lightweighting , Metal Replacement , Regulatory Issues , Sustainability Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material. In addition, excellent dispersion of the metallic filler eliminated “hot spots” where radiation could leak out.
