Thermally conductive materials: Thermally conductive materials from Henkel
Henkel has various products in its range that belong to the category of thermally conductive materials, including encapsulants and Adhesives. Heat-conducting materials are used, among other things, to dissipate the heat generated by electronic components, for example on printed circuit boards, as otherwise defects may occur.
Below we present some of these thermally conductive materials from Henkel, which you can also buy in the online store of the Swiss Henkel Adhesive Technologies distributor abovo.
Loctite Stycast 2850FT
First of all, we would like to introduce the thermally conductive Henkel product Loctite Stycast 2850FT, which is an epoxy resin encapsulant. Henkel recommends this thermally conductive encapsulant to encapsulate components where heat dissipation and thermal shock resistance is required.
Some of the key properties of the encapsulant Loctite Stycast 2850FT can be found in the following overview:
- Area of application: Encapsulation
- Thermal conductivity: 1.1 W/(m-K) (when combined with catalyst Loctite Cat 23LV)
- Number of components: 2
- Technique: Epoxy resin
- Color: Black
- Curing: possible at room temperature
- Thermal shock resistance
- electrically insulating
- Shelf life: 365 days
- Shipping without freezing possible
- can be used with different catalysts, whereby the product properties can change depending on the catalyst(if you have any questions, please contact us)
Loctite Ablestik 286 Blue
Another thermally conductive material from Henkel is the adhesive Loctite Ablestik 286 Blue, also known as Eccobond 286. According to Henkel, this thermally conductive adhesive is suitable for use in pipelines, but also for a wide range of maintenance and production requirements.
