New Line of High Performance Gap Fillers Meets Customer Need for Various Levels of Conductivity and Compression Force
WORCESTER, Mass., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The Composites Division of
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corporation (SGPPL) introduces ThermaCool(R)
TC2006, TC3006 and TC3008, a new line of high performance gap fillers
developed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of printed circuit
boards, power supply devices and other electronic applications. These products
are available in industry-leading 24" x 24" sheets, maximizing converter
efficiency.
These super soft and compliant gap fillers deliver excellent thermal
conductivity for exceptional heat transfer, and can accommodate materials of
varying coefficients of thermal expansion. Their low compression force enables
them to span multiple components with minimal pressure, making them
particularly effective as board sizes continue to shrink. Intrinsically tacky,
they require no adhesive and can also be ordered with fabric or scrim
surfaces.
Products in the ThermaCool line:
-- TC2006 - Economical, highly compliant gap filler with an excellent
balance between conductivity and compression force.
-- TC3006 - Outstanding compression performance, allowing >45% compression
without exceeding 10 psi on components.
-- TC3008 - High performance gap filler useful for higher conductivity
applications in which compression is more than 10%.
"Because of the market need for various levels of conductivity and
compression, we purposefully looked to develop not just one product, but an
entire line that would meet customer requirements," says Business Development
Manager Steven Jette. "We are very excited to launch this line after more than
two years of research and development. Initial response from both converters
and end-users has been extremely positive with respect to quality,
performance, and our pricing levels."
SGPPL is part of Saint-Gobain, a leading producer of construction
products, flat glass, high-performance materials and packaging, andEurope's
largest distributor of building materials. Headquartered inParis, Saint-
Gobain had worldwide sales of more than $59 billion in 2007 and has more than
207,000 employees in 56 countries.
