Thermally Conductive Compounds are non-curing grease-like one-part materials
that do not require mixing or a cure
process.
 | Thermally Conductive moisture cure materials are
one-part products that cure at room temperature by reacting with moisture in
the surrounding air. Moderate heat up to 60°C can accelerate the cure, but
higher temperatures are not recommended. In very dry climates, it may be
necessary to humidify the air to get proper cure. Some products will skin over
in a few minutes, but typically they require several hours for complete
cure. |
| Some thermally conductive adhesives, encapsulants,
and gels are supplied as either one-part or two-part products that require heat
to cure after being applied. They are typically cured in either batch or
conveyor ovens. Cure time and temperature varies depending on the product
chosen. Cure temperatures can range from 100-150°C with cure times typically a
few minutes to an hour. |  |
Due to the wide variety of types of thermally conductive materials
available, users should determine the proper curing conditions from the product
datasheets or consult a Dow Corning representative.
