The Thermal Management Revolution
Up until a few short years
ago, engineered plastics could never be considered as a viable
material for thermal management solutions. This is
unfortunate considering that most industries, including
automotive, electronic and medical, consider plastic the
material of choice for weight reduction, greater design
freedom, ease of manufacturability and value.
With the advent of
CoolPoly thermally conductive plastics, Cool Shield opens up a whole new world of
opportunity to the packaging engineer and designer. Cool
Shield brings all the manufacturing benefits of injection
molding to the development of a complete thermal and EMI
management solution, including but not limited to, the heat
sink, interface, EMI shield and structural components of the
system with a potentially lower cost than metals or ceramics.

What is CoolPoly®?
CoolPoly is a line of thermally conductive injection molding
grade polymers with compounds that range from 10 W/mK to 100
W/mK (50 to 500 times the conductivity of conventional
plastics). Developed by Cool Polymers®,
Inc. the undisputed leader in thermally conductive plastics,
CoolPoly is a composite material consisting of high
conductivity reinforcements and modified engineering or
commodity thermoplastic resins. Cool Polymers is a
sister company to Cool Shield™ and another
member of the Cool Options family. CoolPoly is available
in several different grades many of which exhibit very low
coefficients of thermal expansion and high dimensional
stability.
