Dow Corning Electronics Introduces New High-Performance DOW CORNING® TC-2030 Thermally Conductive Adhesive for Diverse Electronics Markets
New Silicone-Based Material Offers Outstanding Thermal Performance,
Adhesion and Stability After Aging
Midland, Mich. – Dow Corning Corporation’s Electronics group today announced
the worldwide availability of its DOW CORNING® TC-2030 A&B Thermally
Conductive Adhesive for use in automotive electronics, LED assembly and in the
computer market. TC-2030 offers outstanding thermal conductivity and excellent
elastomeric properties after aging, providing long-term reliability. Good
adhesion to various substrates, such as anodized or cast aluminum, tin-plated
copper and printed circuit boards, make this material well suited for use
across a wide variety of electronics markets.
TC-2030’s thermal conductivity of 2.7 W/mK is higher than traditional
thermally conductive adhesives. With a viscosity of 190 Pa・s, it also offers
good dispensing characteristics and can be easily applied by a dispenser after
the two-part formulation is mixed.
“The introduction of TC-2030 expands Dow Corning’s line of thermally
conductive adhesive products to meet a wider range of customer needs,” said
Rogier Reinders, Dow Corning’s global automotive marketing leader. “Dow Corning
has been using field-proven fillers to achieve new levels of loading, rheology
and bondline control with a resulting step change increase in thermal
performance and stability after aging. The electronics market has shown a need
for improved heat dissipation in printed circuit board applications with high
power components.. Dow Corning’s high thermal conductivity TC-2030 provides
manufacturers with a viable option to address this need.”
