KERATHERM
What is KERATHERM®?
KERATHERM®are highly flexible products comprising thermally conductive and electrically insulating single or multi-component polymers filled with ceramic or heat-conducting materials.
KERATHERM®, when mechanically reinforced by the incorporation of fiber-glass or other materials, offers the user a versatile product that is superior in many aspects to conventional ceramic or mica discs.
KERATHERM® advantages and properties
- KERATHERM®- heat-conducting films are characterized by their high thermal conductivity and their electrical insulation.
- In contrast to discs made of mica, aluminum or polyamide, KERATHERM® can be used without a heat- conducting compound.
- Compared to the thermal compounds still frequently used, KERATHERM® does not dry out during continuous use hence retaining its good thermal conductivity properties over the years.
KERATHERM® product range
KERATHERM® Standard Films white, green, pink, red, brown and the MT-films have
a smooth surface in order to ensure that there is no entrapped air that would interfere with the heat transfer between the component and the heat sink. The material smooths out microscopic irregularities in the contact surfaces which improves the thermal interface and therefore increases the heat dissipation.The MT-films are new developed thermoplastic elastomere films with very good insulating behaviour and excellent mechanical and thermal characteristics.
KERATHERM® Silicone-free Standard Films are used wherever the use of silicone can lead to problems. Besides good thermal and outstanding electrical properties, these films are characterized by their good cut-through resistance.
KERATHERM® Thermal Grease is characterized, in particular, by its good plasticity and very low thermal resistance. There is no drying out or leaking out of the silicone components.
KERATHERM® Phase-Change-Elastomer films do not consist of wax material. Because of there outstanding phase changing characteristics these special elastomers are also suitable for the automatic production - easy automatic assembly.
KERATHERM® Phase-Change-Material comprises a combination of hot-melt waxes with or without support. These films smooth out even the smallest irregularities between the power module and heat sink and thereby improve the contact between the surfaces and increase the heat transfer.
KERATHERM® Softtherm® is the ideal material for smoothing out even large component irregularities. Thanks to their outstanding compressibility, they produce an optimum thermal contact at the same time being electrically insulating. The supplied thicknesses range from
0.5 - 5.0 mm. Other thicknesses or shapes are available on request.
KERATHERM® Sealing Compounds can be used for encapsulating whole applications and dispensing housing lids or heat sinks. Thanks to its ease-of-use, it allows even the most complicated geometries to be encapsulated.
KERATHERM® Graphite Films are based on 100% pure graphite. The films are available as uncoated types and for specific applications, with filled adhesive or standard adhesives.
KERATHERM® Ferrite F 96 Film comprises soft ferrite and, on account of its good magnetic properties, is especially suitable for electromagnetic shielding, flexible coils or other magnetic applications.
KERATHERM® Adhesive Films KL 90 und KL 91 are thermal conducting, electrical isolating double sided adhesive films. They have an excellent, permanent adhesive strength with high thermal conductivities and at the same time very good insulation characteristics.
KERATHERM® Adhesive Coating: every film type requires its own special adhesive system. Besides flexible adhesives with low adhesive strength, Kerafol® offers adhesives with high adhesive strength or with various fillings for improved heat transfer.
