ABRASIVE MACHINE & SUPPLY CO.

Glass bead fillers increase mechanical and dielectric strength. Can be supplied coated with resin.

ADELL PLASTICS, INC.

Custom filler concentrates with up to 75% loading available in all thermoplastics. Multifunctional concentrates can contain more than one additive.

ADVANCED CERAMICS CORP.

Boron nitride powder is said to be an excellent polymeric material additive for applications requiring very low thermal resistance. It provides the electrical resistance and the dielectric constant other high thermally conductive materials lack.
