The CoolPoly® grades of advanced
thermally conductive injection molding grade thermoplastics for heat sinks and
thermal management. The polymers provide no antenna effect (no amplification of
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference and no magnetic coupling), are up to 50 percent lighter than aluminum and
provide greater part design flexibility. These polymers feature thermally
conductivity with characteristics previously
unavailable in injection molding grade polymers. The E-series grades are
electrically conductive and provide inherent EMI/RFI absorption. The D-series
grades are electrically insulative and produce no signal interference and or
magnetic coupling. The thermoplastics can be ordered in either compounds for
injection molding, purchasing off-the-shelf parts molded from these polymers,
or for unique parts or applications, having Cool Polymers provide complete
injection molding services. In typical electronic power and air flow
environments, CoolPoly thermally conductive plastics provide equivalent heat
transfer to aluminum parts. Specifications
of the polymers include thermal conductivity of 20 w/mk, thermal diffusivity of
0.1 cm2/sec and density of 1.7 g/cc. Mold shrinkage is minimal. The material allows new design freedom in
applications previously restricted to metals.
