Electronic components in the future will be smaller, more powerful and more efficient. The higher energy density will translate to increased operating temperatures and more heat. In order to operate these new devices and maintain their performance over their lifetime, advanced thermal management solutions are necessary.  Anticipating this trend, Techsil has a key focus on products with advanced thermal management properties.

Techsil has launched SilCool* TIA241GF gap filler from Momentive. It is an excellent candidate for applications where good heat transfer, low stress, and good interface wetting are required. This product further offers tacky adhesion for applications where movements in x, y, and z directions occur due to vibration, thermal cycling stress and CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) mismatch. 

SilCool* TIA241GF gap filler has demonstrated superior performance in terms of reliability, adhesion, and thermal resistance over competing materials. This material was initially proposed for automotive applications (e.g. automotive electronic control units and systems) but can also be considered for use in consumer and telecommunication or HMI applications where heat needs to be removed effectively. 

This new liquid-dispensed gap filler will further strengthen Techsil’s existing thermal management range. In addition, Techsil hope to expand our liquid dispensed gap filler range with a 5WmK and 8Wmk material in the near future.

SilCool TIA241GF gap filler is a 2-component, soft, thermally conductive silicone material used for the dissipation of heat from electronic devices. Its non-slumping pasty consistency offers physical stability for optimized processing. TIA241GF can be used as liquid dispensed alternative to pre-fabricated thermal pads, for a broad array of thermal designs in electronic applications.
