Plastics App Unleash The Potential of Compounding Innovation: Three Growth Engines Driving Our Industry.
The compounding industry is rapidly evolving to tackle the urgent challenges of our era, and Plastics App is leading the way in realizing it. Explore three growth engines – electric and thermal conduction, & weight reduction reshaping sectors from automotive and electronics to construction and consumer goods, advancing sustainability and resource efficiency.
During the last few years, Plastics App has developed a unique proficiency in compounding, molding & testing for conductivity. Feeding and dispersion of Conductive Carbon Black, Carbon Nano-Tubes, Graphite, and Carbon Fibers powers its compounding innovation. It paves the way for start-ups and large enterprises to the era of electric vehicles.
The EV boom requires conductive & EMI shielding compounds essential for batteries and charging infrastructures. These compounds blend in conductivity & mechanical performance desired for these new applications. We do our best to ensure performance, cost-efficiency, and longevity. Plastics App has already proved its ability to transform traditionally non-conductive plastics into materials suitable for applications from antistatic to electromagnetic shielding in injection molding, extrusion, and 3D printing.
Thermal management is a substantial concern with the miniaturization and increasing power of electronic devices. Thermally-conductive compounds, designed to dissipate heat from essential components, with or without electrical conductivity, are pivotal in maintaining device performance, safety, and lifespan across applications like smartphones, cars, and aerospace technologies. The innovation involves merging polymers with thermally conductive fillers, like graphite, boron nitride, and others. The expanding market for these compounds signals a trend toward enhanced sustainability and efficiency in the compounding industry.
Plastics App has made significant breakthroughs tailoring thermal management compounds for unique applications never achieved before.
The compounding industry is witnessing a substantial shift towards lightweight materials crucial for the automotive and aviation sectors, where weight reduction directly impacts efficiency and CO2 emissions. EV cars’ weight issues are incredibly challenging as battery packs heavily influence the overall weight and maximal travel distances. Plastics App has developed ultra-high-strength compounds with fibers and microspheres technology, enabling the craft of parts that balance lightness and strength. These innovations boost performance & present significant growth potential that can translated into metal replacement molded or 3D printed functional parts. This focus on weight reduction isn’t just a trend; it’s a practical step we take towards an eco-friendly future in compounds’ uses.
The compound industry is evolving with a focus on innovation and sustainability. This change is driven by three main topics – electric conduction, heat dissipation, and weight reduction. As the industry adapts, our dedication isn’t just a reaction but a step toward a more responsible future.
