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.
