Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials has released its new CarboTherm boron nitride thermal management fillers for use in thermally conductive, dielectric plastic compounds. The new boron nitride fillers will be on display December 10-11 at the Compounding World Forum 2013 in Philadelphia, Penn., USA.
“Boron nitride, unlike other ceramics, is soft and non-abrading, enabling longer life for injection molding and extruding equipment,” Neelam Kumar, product manager for CarboTherm, said. “Additionally, CarboTherm offers two distinct advantages over carbon-based filters: it enhances plastic’s inherent electrical isolation properties instead of altering it, and its white color makes it ideal where a combination of high thermal conductivity along with pleasant aesthetics or addition of colorants is required.”
Compatible with a variety of resin systems, CarboTherm is ideal for use in the LED lighting, electrical and electronics, medical devices, automotive and aerospace markets.
