What if plastic conducted heat like metal?

New challenges require better materials. This applies to many components in all sectors, in the electrical industry, in mechanical engineering and medical technology, in heat sinks for batteries and fuel cells or in e-mobility in general. One solution to these challenges is high-performance plastic compounds that conduct heat like metal and insulate electrically like ceramics.
Thanks to PlastFormance technology, it is possible to incorporate pure tungsten as a filler in the compound and produce materials with a higher density than lead.
In principle, the use of electrically conductive fillers in engineering plastics enables electromagnetic shielding and electrostatic discharge. The conductive compounds have decisive advantages over metals or coatings: they offer great design freedom, the finished parts are lighter, easier and cheaper to produce and more robust. Complex component geometries in particular can be realized without time-consuming reworking. In addition, the costs of injection molding are often much lower.
