Thermally Conductive Thermoplastic Heat Sink

This metal-to-plastic conversion of an LED lighting-module heat sink was made possible thanks to a new injection molded thermally conductive polymer. The plastic heat sink is 45% lighter, has thinner walls than die-cast aluminum, and uses 2/3s less energy to produce. It also eliminates deburring, deflashing, the use of corrosion-resistant coatings, and machining of critical surfaces. Additional benefits are that it provides equivalent thermal performance at lower cost, and tool life is projected to be 6x longer than that for die-cast metal.
