While there are many mineral types used in plastic compounds, we’ve chosen to describe some of the most common in this article. While conventional plastics retain heat, plastics containing thermally conductive fillers distribute heat and carry it away from the heat source. Proper venting is also important—place vents at the end of the fill and anywhere potential knit or weld lines could occur.
