3M™ Boron Nitride Cooling Fillers | 
Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) | 
| Raw Materials | 
- Lower loading level
 
- Lower material consumption for thin-walled parts
 
 
 | 
- Requires higher filler loading to generate desired thermal conductivity
 
 
 | 
| Processing | 
- Faster cycle times and line speeds
 
- Easier to process thin-walled and complex shapes
 
- No increase in wear on process tooling
 
- No dust build-up during processing
 
 
 | 
- Hard to process complex or thin-walled shapes
 
- Hard, abrasive particles cause wear on process tooling
