Thermally Conductive Silicone Foams, Pads
Saint-Gobain® Tape Solutions thermally conductive silicone materials are economical, high performance products designed to enhance thermal performance of various thermal management applications. High demanding electronic applications require thermal materials that efficiently transfer heat. Our broad range of thermally conductive products expand to fill voids between multiple components to provide efficient heat transfer with good tear resistance.
Applications in demanding environments
Our thermally conductive silicone materials are ideal for engineers requiring thermal management gasket foams/pads that deliver efficient heat dissipation in electronics, EV battery packs, LED modules, and industrial enclosures. Many of these high-performance thermals gap filler foams are UL94 V-0 rated and provide additional performance highlights, like:
- Thermal conductivity: up to 41.5 W/m·K
- UL 94 V-0 flame rating
- Operating temperature: -55°C to +200°C
- Low compression set for long-term sealing
5 Reasons Why to Choose Thermally Conductive Silicone Foam or Pad
- Our thermally conductive silicone foam solutions help solve complex thermal and sealing challenges in demanding applications. They offer a unique combination of heat dissipation, mechanical resilience, and performance reliability.
- In addition to efficient heat dissipation even in compact or high-power applications, they provide reliable mechanical performance which maintains low compression set for long-term sealing, even under repeated thermal cycling and mechanical stress. Consistent performance over time maintains thermal and mechanical properties even after prolonged exposure to heat and stress.
- For enhanced safety and environmental resistance, thermally conductive silicone foams/pads withstand exposure to UV, ozone, and chemicals, making them suitable for outdoor and industrial use. They help meet safety and performance standards in regulated industries like automotive and aerospace.
- Unlike other solutions, our thermal gap filler silicone foams/pads are clean and easy to handle and compatible with automated assembly for more efficient production processes.
- Design flexibility. Available in multiple thicknesses, densities, and formats to suit a wide range of design requirements.
