Silicone-based soft elastomers

Electrically insulating soft and ultra-soft silicone-based, highly heat-conductive Gapfiller -Spacer so called TC- Soft Silicone-PADs are ideal for applications in which, in addition to thermal conductivity, the compensation of extreme tolerances and gaps is particularly important, especially in non-planar structures without the application of pressure, and electrical insulation.

The FSL range of Gapfiller -Spacer- products from DENKA Chemicals

The gap filler spacer of the FSL product range are thermally highly conductive and electrically highly insulating, soft and ultra-soft silicone-based elastomers which very excellent thermal junction can be achieved.

Due to the extremely high softness and form adaptability of the silicone gap filler, an optimum thermal transition is achieved even at very low pressure to the surfaces to be contacted. This considerably minimized the overall thermal transfer resistance. The special formulation and filling of the silicone elastomer with proprietary high-quality ceramic powder, which enables a very high thermal conductivity of up to 8 W/mK, is particularly noteworthy.

The natural adhesion of the material also enables very good pre-application and thus use in automated placement systems.


The ICT-TC-Thermal Interface Silicone Soft & Ultra Soft-Pads The softsilicone product range from Shin-Etsu Silicones

ranges are thermally highly conductive, electrically highly insulating, soft & ultra-soft silicone-based elastomers which very excellent thermal junction can be achieved.

The soft and ultra-soft thermally conductive Pads consist of silicone rubber in combination with highly thermally conductive fillers. They are available as single or as multi composite layer. Alle types also dispose extraordinarily high electrical insulation strength.

The extremely high softness and conformability of the soft silicone enables it to be adapted to irregular or complex surfaces. Air gaps between heat-generating components and heat sinks can thus be successfully filled and thermally junction. As a result, an optimum thermal transition is achieved even at very low pressure on the surfaces to be contacted. This considerably minimizes the overall thermal transfer resistance and creates an optimum thermal path.

The special formulation of these products with proprietary high-quality ceramic powder, which enables a very high thermal conductivity of up to more than 5 W/m*K, should be emphasized.

The natural adhesion of these product line up here also enables very good pre-application, and thus use in automated placement systems.


ICT SUEDWERK offers furthermore another highly thermally conductive and electrically insulating soft gap fillers based on silicone to its customers from another manufacturers.

Silicone as a base material combines many advantages in terms of temperature and chemical resistance, but also a high electrical puncture resistance.

All Gap filler spacers offer very good thermal performance and achieve an equally excellent thermal path by reducing the overall transition resistance.  Due to the first-class combination of thermal and mechanical properties-as well as quality and price-the different material types are suitable for a wide range of applications; wherever large gaps must be efficiently bridged from the power component to the heat sink. The housing itself can thus function as a heat sink, which saves a total of space in the application.

The different spacer variants have a compressibility of up to 30%. Due to this adaptability, an optimal thermal contact is achieved even at very low pressures. As a result, the thermal total transition resistance is reduced to whitish and to a large extent considerably.

Some of the product variants of the gap filler spacers are also made of less low molecular siloxane and are therefore suitable for automotive applications.

All ICT SUEDWERK gap-filler-spacer material types have very high reliability. Due to the natural adhesion, the material can also be affixed very well in advance. Our gap filler spacer types are available both, on one side and on both sides (self-)adhesive.
