Thermally Conductive Silicones

23 August 2011 adhesives

Thermally conductive silicones can provide excellent thermal management. Through the addition of specialist fillers, heat can be dissipated from processors, power units, LED’s and other components to improve performance and product life. They can also be used to improve the heat conduction in sensors, radiators and thermal devices. We have a complete range of thermally [...]
