Plastics do not readily conduct electricity, or heat and cool the way metals do. While conventional plastics retain heat, plastics containing thermally conductive fillers distribute heat and carry it away from the heat source. Aramid is heat- and wear-resistant, and it’s lighter but stronger than carbon fiber.

Heat Resistance Heat Deflection Temperature @ 264 psi This can include technologies such as enhanced UV performance and heat stabilization.

Can be polished or heat-treated. Heat-treats and polishes well. Heat-treats and polishes well. 

Our products for lighting systems allow for maximum output, control heat, and withstand harsh conditions inside and outside the car. LED useful life is affected by temperature, and aluminum heat sinks are prone to hot spots – to keep your lights cooler and running longer, replace aluminum with thermally conductive polymers

Variations in the aesthetic appearance of rPET are caused by multiple heat cycles, as the material is recovered and reused. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.

In both cases, our experts helped innovative customers replace metal with specialty polymer formulations that can conduct heat, provide electrical insulation, or conduct electricity,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe, PolyOne Corporation. The two companies teamed up to develop an all-plastic temperature sensor in the 2015 Ford Edge to control heating and cooling of the vehicle’s interior.
