• Excellent bond and adhesion strength, eliminating the need for welding techniques
• Excellent thermal conductivity even at high temperatures
• Additional activator to speed up the process
• Fast and secure curing rate
• Thermal conductivity of 0.815W/mK
• Self-shimming properties produce a consistent 0.15mm (0.006in.) gap to ensure controlled electrical insulation between bonded components

Thermal adhesives are a type of thermally conductive adhesive used to secure heat sinks and electronic components. Thermal adhesives are available in a number of mediums such as thermal paste, glue, tape and more. They work by creating a strong bond for heatsinks or electrical parts commonly via a two-part epoxy resin with thermal conductivity capabilities, drawing heat away from a device. Thermal adhesives are used in a variety of industries and applications such as:

• Heat sink bonding
• Potting/encapsulating sensors
• BGA die heat spreader interface
• Chip scale packages
• Power semiconductors

This kit from Loctite includes an adhesive syringe applicator, with an additional activator to enhance the process.

Before applying, ensure surfaces are clean and free from grease, dust and contaminants. In order to achieve an optimum strength bond, apply the activator to one of the surfaces to be joined, and apply a thin layer of the adhesive to the other and press the two components together.

Thermal adhesives such as grease and pastes can be removed if required using a combination of a thermal adhesive remover (or high concentrate rubbing alcohol) and a lint free micro fibre cloth. Please note special care must be taken when removing thermal compounds and protective clothing must be worn at all times.

The maximum operating temperature of this thermally conductive sealant is +150°C.
