THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE THERMOPLASTICS REDUCE WEIGHT IN VEHICLE LIGHT HEAT SINKS THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE THERMOPLASTICS REDUCE WEIGHT AND DISSIPATE HEAT © 2023, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 Interested in learning more about thermally conductive thermoplastics? This combined with the design freedom, weight reduction, and cost advantages of thermoplastics, opens up the possibility to use them for metal replacement. As a result, Elausa replaced Zamak with Therma-Tech thermoplastics, significantly reducing part weight from 38g to 9g.
