Summary
Avient has expanded its Therma Tech portfolio with eight new natural-graphite–based thermally conductive plastic grades designed to improve thermal management and support lightweighting, delivering high thermal conductivity with better cost efficiency.

Where could graphite-based conductive plastics make the biggest impact in your designs—replacing metal heat sinks, enabling thinner housings, or optimizing overall system weight?

Looks promising for swapping aluminum heat spreaders on moving end-effectors and HMI bezels, but graphite-filled plastics are often anisotropic and electrically conductive; do you have through-thickness k and surface resistivity data? Also interested in UL94 rating and resistance to caustic and peracetic acid washdown, since black staining on white drums and labels is a non-starter for us.
