THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE THERMOPLASTICS REDUCE WEIGHT IN VEHICLE LIGHT HEAT SINKS THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE THERMOPLASTICS REDUCE WEIGHT AND DISSIPATE HEAT © 2023, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 Interested in learning more about thermally conductive thermoplastics? By replacing aluminum with a thermoplastic, Elausa was looking to reduce cost, part weight and improve ease of manufacturing, all while maintaining an equivalent level of thermal conductivity and ensuring comparable performance. As a result, Elausa replaced Zamak with Therma-Tech thermoplastics, significantly reducing part weight from 38g to 9g.

These silicone additive solutions create a char or gas that reduces oxygen at the source of flame, leading to components that become self-extinguishing. Fire time to ignition is increased while heat release and fire spread are reduced, resulting in enhanced fire safety for life and property.

One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. The products help reduce material use by up to 20% depending on part geometry and wall thickness. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.

The formulation delivers high initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates, yet offers low adhesion build-up to reduce the risk of residue when peeling off film. Compared to current solvent- based coating technology, co-extrusion film using Versaflex CF has significantly reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and helps reduce energy consumption by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates • Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to prevent residue • Low unwinding force for improved efficiency when pasting film • Good gel control • One-step extrusion processing to improve manufacturing efficiency • Reduced VOC emissions compared to current solvent-based coating technology • Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material APPLICATIONS The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films for high-end applications including: • Appliance • Household furniture • Building & construction • Automotive PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

This predictive technology maximizes the use of different color streams and reduces waste. Similar to the ones that correct yellowing, there are special additives that “scavenge” or otherwise reduce the levels of acetaldehyde. In 2019, the EU enacted its Single Use Plastics directive aimed at reducing the impact that such products have on the environment.
