Its thermally conductive properties allow for effective heat management, but material and production costs can be high. Recent advances in polymer technology make it possible to formulate thermally conductive plastics that manage heat just as effectively overall as their metal counterparts. Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces.

Thermoplastic Elastomers | Consumer Products , Color & Design , Appliance The design team reached out to long-term supplier Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers to help develop a customized solution.

THE SOLUTION The manufacturer approached Avient with its challenge. From there, the Avient team identified material options that offered high flame retardancy and finally, requirements for processing flexibility and colorability were applied. The results showed the Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments
