Multilayer Thermal Pads
Multi-layer forming provides flexible solutions for the most complex thermal management requirements. This process combines similar types of silicone material with various hardness levels, adhesion and rebound forces; allowing for multi-layered physical properties while maintaining consistent thermal performance.
Multi-layer technology provides an excellent option that will reduce cost, but not performance. It is suitable for all thermal pad applications greater than 0.5mm and provides an ideal solution for Ultrasoft and high tensile strength applications.
