Reassess your standard raw material Aluminum has typically served as the go-to material for thermal management. Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces.

In contrast, short fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials contain reinforcing fibers of various short lengths (approximately 1mm in length on average) that are randomly orientated in the resin/pellet.   Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics. After a pyrolysis study, in which we burn away the polymer to study the remaining fiber, you can see how the structural skeleton of the long fiber part holds its shape and the short fiber part collapses on itself.  

These specialty adhesive TPE solutions are easy to process and shape, enabling a strong bond with highly elastic fabrics. Compared to those alternative materials, Versaflex TF TPEs also do not include plasticizers, and contain lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) than traditional adhesive solutions, reducing concerns over toxicity.

Therefore, they recommend a non-carcinogenic classification of these materials under GHS. No, GHS elements (including diamond shaped pictograms) are not to replace or modify how hazardous products are labeled for transport. Department of Transport (DOT) will still require their diamond shaped labels as well as the applicable written information aside from GHS label elements for the transport of chemicals.
