COOLTHERM SC-3500

Main features

  • 3.5 W/(m K) Thermal Conductivity
  • <100 ppm Cyclic Siloxane Content
  • 1:1 Weight or Volume Mixing

Product Description

CoolTherm SC-3500 Thermally Conductive Silicone Gap Filler is a two-part, low-volatility silicone gap filler for thermal management in electronic assemblies and power components. Resin and hardener mix 1:1 by weight or volume for handheld cartridge or automatic meter/mix/dispense application. Typical working time is 60 minutes at 25 deg C, with cure schedules of 24 hours at 25 deg C or 60 minutes at 80 deg C. Typical cured thermal conductivity is 3.5 W/(m K) with 80 Shore OO hardness. Cyclic siloxane content is below 100 ppm.

Key features

  • Cured thermal conductivity: Typical cured thermal conductivity is 3.5 W/(m K) by ISO 22007-2.
  • Controlled cyclic siloxane content: Typical content is below 100 ppm as determined using ASTM F2466.
  • Equal-ratio mixing: Resin and hardener mix 1:1 by weight or volume.

Applications

Thermal gap filling in electronic assemblies and power components.

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Thermal Properties
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance. Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.
3.5 W/m.K
Electrical Properties
Dielectric Strength
Dielectric strength is measured in kV per mm and is calculated by the Breakdown voltage divided by the thickness of the tested material. Those two properties go hand in hand and while Breakdown voltage is always thickness dependent, dielectric strength is a general material property. As an example, the dielectric strength of Polyimide is 236 kV/mm. If we place 1mm of Polyimide between two electrodes, it will act as an insulator until the voltage between the electrodes reaches 236 kV. At this point it will start acting as a good conductor, causing sparks, potential punctures and current flow.
6.3 kV/mm
Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.
