Thermally Conductive Tapes
3M’s Thermal Management Materials are ideal for LEDs that are quickly becoming the clear choice for longer lasting, more sustainable lighting solutions. LED manufacturers need to achieve maximum cooling potential for applications where extreme heat is constant and space is limited. To maintain sustainability of LEDs, thermal management is essential.
As we move away from traditional incandescent , fluorescent and halogen light bulbs to more sustainable LED lighting, we are providing our clients a wide range of cooling solutions including 3M Heat Spreading Materials, 3M Thermally Conductive Interface Pads and 3M Thermally Conductive Interface Tapes. Our materials provide efficient thermal transfer for long-term reliability and performance optimization in applications using high brightness LEDs.
We know how important the durability of a thermal material is during different environmental conditions, especially in external applications of LEDs. With a proven track record of durability and exceptional high thermal performance for both indoor and outdoor conditions, 3M’s Thermal Management Materials readily meet the challenge of bright lights and reduced overall power consumption.
3M Heat Spreading Materials
3M Heat Spreading Materials provides robust mechanical strength with good long term stability at very high temperatures. These materials are ideal for backlights, batteries, PC boards or any application where it is necessary to spread heat from heat occurring areas. They provide excellent heat spreading for quick heat dissipation on a preferential heat transfer path between heat generating components and designated cooling devices such as heat sinks, fans, heat pipes and metal frames.
- Excellent thermal conductivity on plane direction
- Excellent flexibility
- Selective thermal spreading path for uniform heat distribution
- Excellent electrical insulation
- High performance acrylic adhesive provides excellent adhesion to Aluminum and SUS
- Easy workability and handling (easy die cut)
3M Thermally Conductive Interface Pads
3M Thermal Transfer Pads are soft and conformable to provide maximum wet out for effective heat transfer and vibration damping for your most demanding thermal applications such as LED and consumer electronic device assembly. 3M Acrylic Thermal Gap Pads have a unique surface track that enables pre-positioning in multi-layer lamination applications. They are available in silicone and acrylic formulations, both thermal gap fillers. They provide excellent handling capabilities and can be die cut to fit most applications.
