Properties of Thermal Grease
Balancing High Thermal Conductivity
and Low Viscosity
Non-silicone-based TIM combines heat resistance and high durability are developed.
Currently, silicone-based materials are predominantly used for TIMs in power semiconductors due to their heat resistance. However, silicone-based TIMs have a known risk of contact failure due to siloxane released from the silicone, posing a reliability issue for devices.
Our non-silicone thermal grease that greatly improves the heat resistance, which was a weakness of conventional non-silicone TIMs, and we are exploring the needs for reliable thermal management materials.
■Heat Resistance: The paste contains high thermal conductivity fillers, significantly improving heat resistance compared to conventional non-silicone products.
■Printability: Maintains a viscosity suitable for printing, and successfully suppresses bleed-out despite the high filler content.
■Low Viscosity: Low viscosity with high thermal conductivity, making it easy to apply.
