SILATHERM®—for increasd thermal expansion

The demand for new and innovative plastic materials and fillers continues to grow. With SILATHERM^®, the Quarzwerke HPF The Mineral Engineers division offers new filler concepts that significantly improve the thermal conductivity of plastics and adhesives. The use of thermally conductive plastics offers several advantages.

In addition to the benefits of lightweight construction, the use of plastic allows for the quick and economical production of complex geometries through injection molding. In the automotive sector, for example, the number of E&E applications in terms of automation and connectivity is constantly increasing.

The high thermal conductivity of various minerals normally cannot be maintained in the compound. With the SILATHERM^® product family, it has been possible to achieve a significant increase in thermal conductivity in thermosets and thermoplastics.
