Discover nowKERATHERM® Thermal Interface Foils – Efficient Thermal Management
In modern electronics development, miniaturization and increasing power density pose a central challenge: effective thermal management. Overheating can drastically shorten component lifespan and lead to system failure.
To ensure reliable operation and longevity, efficient heat dissipation is essential. This is where KERATHERM® thermal interface foils from Kerafol®, available through alfatec GmbH & Co. KG, come into play.
These thermal interface materials (TIMs) enable efficient heat transfer from the source (e.g., semiconductor) to the sink (e.g., heatsink).
What Are KERATHERM® Thermal Interface Foils?
KERATHERM® thermal interface foils are specialized materials that combine two key properties: high thermal conductivity and excellent electrical insulation. Based on polymers such as silicone, polyurethane, or epoxy, these foils are typically 100 to 500 µm thick, making them ideal for applications with tight tolerances and small gaps.
Their main function is to ensure efficient heat transfer between components while providing high dielectric strength to prevent electrical breakdowns or arcing, enhancing the safety and reliability of your application.
