NOTE TO EDITORS: Avient’s broader offering of materials for 5G include Edgetek™ formulations for laser direct structuring (LDS); Stat-Tech™ static dissipative & electrically conductive thermoplastics; and Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive formulations for a host of equipment and component applications.

MEASURING THERMAL PERFORMANCE How Hot Is Hot? There are several essential metrics used to quantify thermal performance: 1. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

But manufacturing High Brightness LED lighting isn’t simple.  Working together, the group determined that Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers had all the necessary properties to replace the aluminum heat sinks. The thermal dissipative performance of the thermoplastic heat sink is equivalent to that of aluminum – even for the highest-power HB LED model, which provides 27 total watts in nine HB LEDs.

Thermal oxidation can also occur when high temperatures are used to manufacture end-use polymer products, affecting the raw material.  Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations Silcosperse™ TC Thermally Conductive Dispersions

Some part designs may benefit from the use of higher thermal conductivity materials such as beryllium copper. Very hard, high wear characteristics, high vanadium content, somewhat brittle. Disadvantage: High cost.

Thermally conductive materials Up to 20 W/mK conductivity High temperature performance and excellent impact resistance

Lightweight, thermally conductive materials that replace metal and help manage heat across sensitive electronics In addition, PolyOne recently partnered with Integral Technologies Inc. to commercialize its long-fiber conductive ElectriPlast® material in electromagnetic and radio-frequency (EMI/RFI) shielding applications.
