There are quite a few options in the mineral family, and they not only reduce cost, they can also boost strength when added to a polymer. Graphite, which can be loaded at high concentrations in the polymer, can provide high conductivity but is highly anisotropic1, meaning its conductivity changes depending on direction. Thermally conductive plastic parts may be anisotropic—meaning they conduct heat better in one direction (in the plane of the conductive filler, either axial or transverse) than in the perpendicular directions (through the plane of the filler).

In addition, the high flow properties allow Jager to run the material in a TandemMold (a patented product of T/Mould GmbH), which effectively doubles production volume, as well as lowers energy and related production costs by up to 40%. Improved flow = lower unit costs: High flow characteristics of the Avient solution in combination with a TandemMold result in doubled production volume for a 50% reduction in machine-related costs per part.
