DIN 52612

DIN 52612 is a standard that deals with thermal conductivity, an important parameter for the characterisation of materials, in particular plastics. Thermal conductivity, as defined in accordance with this standard, describes the ability of a material to transfer thermal energy by heat conduction.

In other words, it indicates how efficiently a plastic transports heat by flowing in the form of heat from one point to another. This aspect is of fundamental importance for a wide variety of applications, from the insulation of buildings to the manufacture of electronic components.
