By replacing aluminum with a thermoplastic, Elausa was looking to reduce cost, part weight and improve ease of manufacturing, all while maintaining an equivalent level of thermal conductivity and ensuring comparable performance.
This combined with the design freedom, weight reduction, and cost advantages of thermoplastics, opens up the possibility to use them for metal replacement.
Next to lower density, design optimization for the use of thermally conductive materials is key for the weight and cost saving that our Avient Design specialists provide as an additional service to our customers.
