Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide range of applications.
Further performance can be delivered through an engineered
thermoplastic sheet or thick film, which may incorporate more than one resin formulation or composite
in multiple layers to impart additional properties such as gas barrier, structural integrity and
lightweighting.

Interested in learning more about thermally
conductive thermoplastics?
This combined
with the design freedom, weight reduction, and cost
advantages of thermoplastics, opens up the possibility
to use them for metal replacement.
As a
result, Elausa replaced Zamak with Therma-Tech
thermoplastics, significantly reducing part weight from
38g to 9g.
