Thermally ConductiveTapes and Pads

Thermally conductive adhesive transfer tapes and pads are engineered to provide a heat-transfer path between heat-generating components and heat sinks or other cooling devices like fans, heat spreaders or heat pipes. This helps to maximize performance and help eliminate failures and component degradation due to excessive heat.

There are several formulations of thermally conductive adhesives and pads including polyurethane resins, silicone adhesives with conductive properties, and thermally conductive epoxy adhesives.

These adhesives and thermally conductive pads help accomplish the following:

Thermal management
Provide an alternative to mechanical fasteners

Argent can develop thermally conductive solutions in a variety of outputs including pads, laminates, liquids and custom adhesives. To help satisfy design constraints, thermally conductive materials can be easily slit or die cut and are sealable. In addition, they can be adhesively, thermally or sonically fastened to various substrates. We also have the capability to laminate thermal barriers such as aluminum foil directly to these light-weight materials, creating a unique solution for demanding environmental conditions.

Benefits of Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tapes

We have the experience to ensure your thermally conductive tapes and pads securely attach to heat sinks and heat spreaders.
Our team can assist with material selection for your thermally conductive pads or adhesive transfer tape, helping you make the best choice for your application, industry and customer needs.
Our thermally conductive solutions allow you to avoid the mess and cost alternative solutions like clips or greases.
Gain the ability to mount heat sinks and electronics without mechanical fasteners.
Choosing thermally conductive tapes helps you save valuable time by circumventing long cure times and fixturing of liquid adhesives.
