Thermally Conductive Polymers

Powering Performance in Automotive, Energy and Industrial Sectors

The Challenge

Metal heat exchangers have long been the standard for thermal management, but they come with significant limitations. While they transfer heat efficiently, these traditional materials:

  • Are heavy, adding unnecessary weight.
  • Have high embodied carbon, contributing to environmental concerns.
  • Lack versatility in design.
  • Offer no corrosion resistance, leading to potential durability issues.

Although Thermally Conductive Polymers (TCPs) on the market attempt to address these problems, they often fall short, being:

  • Brittle, making them prone to cracking.
  • Offering low thermal conductivity, limiting their effectiveness.
  • Unable to be mass-produced efficiently.

Our Solution

Senergy's patent-pending thermally conductive polymers are designed to overcome these challenges. Our innovative materials provide:

  • Excellent thermal conductivity, rivaling that of metals.
  • Scalability through injection moulding, profile extrusion, and thermoforming, making them ideal for mass production.
  • Flexibility and durability, eliminating the brittleness seen in other TCPs.

By replacing aluminium with Senergy's TCPs, you can achieve:

  • 30-45% reduction in weight.
  • 500% lower CO equivalent per product.
  • 30% faster assembly times.

Senergy’s TCPs deliver performance, sustainability, and efficiency for the next generation of heat exchangers and thermal solutions.

Industry Sectors

Senergy’s thermally conductive polymers are supporting industry on its journey to a sustainable future within the automotive, energy and industrial sectors.
