If heat dissipation is the primary driver, thermally conductive polymers could be an excellent alternative. However, advancements in engineering thermoplastics now enable effective heat dissipation comparable to metals but at a fraction of the weight. Thermally conductive plastics help dissipate the heat, adding life to the fixture while offering additional design and manufacturing benefits.

Elausa approached Avient looking for an aluminum replacement for heat sinks in vehicle fog and rear lights. Heat sinks are used in light modules to help absorb and disperse excess heat, preventing damage to materials and increasing the longevity of the module. Therma-Tech formulations offer similar heat transfer, dissipation, and cooling capabilities to metals, when heat is transmitted into air.

No matter how many times you expose TPEs to sufficient heat they will become soft and re-harden when cool. Once a thermoset material is cured with heat it forms a permanent shape that cannot be reheated and reformed. Heat Resistance

This limits the selection of the colorants to very heat-stable pigments. Although commonly called Low Temperature inks, in fact these still need to be heated during curing - so they are in practice heat curable inks. LND dispersion could also be selected as an antistatic coating on PTFE-impregnated glass cloth, or as a resistance carrier for heating bands.

PolyOne has developed new Geon™ Bold vinyl materials with dark, rich colors that stand up to the elements, especially heat build up, without losing their intensity or performance. However, standard exterior vinyl grades in dark colors suffer significant fading, solar heat build-up and loss of mechanical properties. Geon Bold formulations feature improved color retention in darker colors and a wider palette of low heat build-up colors compared to standard exterior vinyl grades.

The best solution for IR dryers is to balance dryer belt speed and temperature settings to provide the lowest amount of heat exposure that will result in successfully cured prints.  heat retention    Set flash dwell times on heated pallets to simulate production.
