Thermal adhesives are a type of adhesive commonly used to attach a heatsink to electronic components. The glue is typically a two part epoxy resin which cures to form a strong bond. They are thermally conductive and usually electrically insulating, helping to dissipate heat from the device to prevent overheating or a breakdown.
The main function of a thermal adhesive is to ensure there is no air space between which would act as a thermal insulator. It fills in the microscopic imperfections on the heatsink and device.
There are a variety of thermal compound adhesives available that are ideal for eliminating the air gap under a heat sink. The most common types of thermally conductive adhesives are:
Thermal paste
Thermal glue
Thermal adhesive tape
Thermal Grease
Thermal Gap Pads
Applications
Thermal adhesives are used in a variety of industries and applications such as:
Description:
9200 is a toughened, two-part epoxy adhesive, designed
to create long-lasting load-bearing joints. It adheres strongly to a wide range of materials that are difficult to bond to, including glass, ceramics, metals, engineered thermoplastics, and thermoset laminates, such as SMC (sheet molding compound) and GRP (glass-reinforced plastics). It creates tough ...
