Thermal Interface - Pads and Films


With increased miniaturization of systems and greater circuit density, today’s electronics generate large amounts of heat. If the heat is not carried off and dissipated, the operational lifetime and reliability of the electronics can be reduced. This is a problem that needs to be addressed for everything from individual devices to electronic modules and systems.

Dow Corning supplies many types of thermal interface materials such as fabricated films and pads, which do not need to be dispensed or cured. These include thin thermal pads, gap fillers and phase change films. Fabricated films and pads are supplied ready to use for those who prefer not to utilize curing processes. These materials are cold-applied with no need for special tools and equipment. They can be supplied in roll form and in pre-stamped shapes specific to your application. They are easily removed and reworked when needed.

If you need a material:

Consider products:

For highly demanding requirements of heat dissipation

With high levels of thermal conductivity

With lowest values of thermal resistance

Designated as “thin thermal interface” or “phase change” materials

To be used on irregular surfaces

Designated as “gap filler” materials

That requires very low mounting force

Designated as “phase change” materials

With higher strength

Reinforced with stronger matrix materials such as fiberglass

To be used in stress-sensitive applications

With low durometer values

With easier handling

That are sticky only on one side
