Tapes
A complete range of thin, highly comfortable thermal interface and heat spreading tapes with high adhesion and excellent thermal conductivity.
These tapes apply quickly and easily and their dielectric strength make them appropriate for a wide variety of applications including bonding heat sinks, heat spreaders and other cooling devices to IC packages and other heat generating components.
Pads
Soft, comfortable thermal interface pads with high thermal conductivity and dielectric strength can be die cut to fit individual applications.
These are ideal for use in LEDs, automotive batteries, notebook thermal modules and more. All pads are available in both silicone and acrylic varieties.
Epoxies
These low odour liquid adhesives offer robust strength, an ultra-thin bond line for low thermal impedance even in tight spaces.
They dispense easily for efficiency in both high output, in-line automated manufacturing and manual application processes.
Grease
A full range high-performance thermal greases that are designed to offer efficient and cost-effective transfer of thermal energy from heat source to heat sink.
Based on proprietary 3M technology, both standard and low viscosity products are available to meet device needs for processor chips, graphic chips, high power LEDs and more.
