Smarter Materials™ High Performance Thermoplastics: eBook Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Many car parts are painted, not just metal and thermoplastic exterior parts, but also thermoplastic parts in a vehicle’s interior,” notes Gary Fielding, vice president and general manager, Color and Additives EMEA at PolyOne.

But because ADAS housing applications are typically convection limited, custom formulated thermoplastics can do the job of dissipating heat exceptionally well. Damage from static electricity – Your electronics need protection from static buildup – specialty thermoplastics can be formulated to do a better job of dissipating unwanted static and therefore minimize the potential for damage to nearby electrical components.

Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces. With thermoplastic parts, there is rarely a need for secondary processing steps such as coating, welding, drilling or painting.
