Dow Corning Electronics Introduces New High-Performance DOW CORNING(R) TC-2030 Thermally Conductive Adhesive for Diverse Electronics Markets
Electronics group today announced the worldwide availability of its DOW
CORNING(R) TC-2030 A&B Thermally Conductive Adhesive for use in automotive
electronics, LED assembly and in the computer market. TC-2030 offers
outstanding thermal conductivity and excellent elastomeric properties after
aging, providing long-term reliability. Good adhesion to various substrates,
such as anodized or cast aluminum, tin-plated copper and printed circuit
boards, make this material well suited for use across a wide variety of
electronics markets.
TC-2030′s thermal conductivity of 2.7 W/mK is higher than traditional
thermally conductive adhesives. With a viscosity of 190 Pa.s, it also offers
good dispensing characteristics and can be easily applied by a dispenser after
the two-part formulation is mixed.
“The introduction of TC-2030 expands Dow Corning’s line of thermally
conductive adhesive products to meet a wider range of customer needs,” said
Corning has been using field-proven fillers to achieve new levels of loading,
rheology and bondline control with a resulting step change increase in thermal
performance and stability after aging. The electronics market has shown a need
for improved heat dissipation in printed circuit board applications with high
power components. Dow Corning’s high thermal conductivity TC-2030 provides
manufacturers with a viable option to address this need.”
