Thermal pads are designed for effective heat transfer across gaps between rough or irregular surfaces, such as heat spreaders and electronic components. They are available in a broad range of chemistries and thicknesses — from ultra-soft, electrically insulating pads with high thermal conductivity to firmer silicone-free options ideal for optical applications. Our team of experts can help you identify the right pad for your application.
Ideal for thin bondline applications, thin thermal pads are available in both electrically insulating and non-insulating formulations. Typically constructed from silicone rubber and reinforced with durable carriers such as fiberglass or polyester film, they offer excellent puncture resistance and provide a clean, reliable alternative to mica, ceramics or grease.
Thermally conductive gap fillers are two-part liquid systems designed for high-volume, automated dispensing. These thixotropic materials flow easily under pressure, then remain in place without slumping, making them ideal for vertical surfaces. They conform to complex topographies and multi-level surfaces while virtually eliminating stress on components during assembly.
These engineered compounds melt and solidify at specific phase-change temperatures to absorb and release heat. As they melt, they flow across the interface, improving contact and heat transfer without overflowing. Available on a carrier liner or as a dispensable/printable liquid, both formats offer low volatility and are tack-free at room temperature for easy handling and assembly.
Thermally conductive adhesives combine structural bonding with efficient heat transfer in a single solution. Available in tape, film, and liquid formats, they eliminate the need for bulky mechanical fasteners during assembly. Offered in a range of chemistries, including silicones, polyurethanes, and epoxies, these materials provide durable bonds and effective thermal management while reducing system cost by simplifying design and assembly.
These single-component, dispensable materials require no mixing or curing. Their high conformability, ultra-low modulus, and excellent thermal conductivity enable them to fill gaps and voids, maximize heat transfer, and minimize mechanical stress on sensitive components. They provide long-term durability and resist pump-out in high-vibration environments. In addition, their reworkability simplifies maintenance and repair.
