Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics

Recent advances in polymer technology make it possible to formulate thermally conductive plastics that manage heat just as effectively overall as their metal counterparts.

Provide a 0.003" to 0.005" (0.076 mm to 0.127 mm) interference when using plastic inserts or substrates, to take into account shrinkage, sinks and tolerances.

We have modified the existing ASTM D903 method for plastics in order to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPEs onto rigid thermoplastic. ENGINEERING PLASTIC SUBTRATES There are a number of plastic substrates that are used for various consumer applications. A single TPE chemistry can not bond to all the rigid plastic substrates as evidenced by the surface energies demonstrated in Figure 1.

OnColor™ Color Concentrates for Non-Phtalate PVC Formulations Plasticizers are a major component in PVC formulations. There are different chemistries, including formulations that contain phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers. Due to the rise in non-phthalate plasticizer demand, Avient offers a range of color concentrates suitable for these formulations.

Solvent Solvents soften surfaces of plastic (plastic must be soluble)—best for amorphous or low crystalline plastics, such as ABS, acrylic, cellulosic, PC, PS, PPO, and vinyls . EJECTION A method of ejection is needed for all plastic parts, this is due to the shrinkage seen in plastic parts . FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES Flow Rate Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore, with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the material is reduced .
