dupont recently released its temprion line of thermal management materials that the company believes will help with heat dissipation and reducing thermal resistance in electronics. the ultimate goal of the thermal interface materials (tim) is improving performance and extending the lifetime of electronics products.

dupont released the temprion line of tims. (dupont chemical)

temprion includes non-silicon thermal greases, electrically insulating films, thermal gap filler, and adhesive thermal tape. the new products were on display at the electronica trade show in germany last week.

the new thermal grease is intended for silicon-sensitive applications. it uses thixotropic formulations to allow for easier application of the material. according to the dupont website, the temprion tg has been shown to outperform other thermal greases at lowering phase separation, outgassing, and pump out.

temprion eif (electrically insulating film) uses kapton mt+ coated with “either a highly conformable pressure-sensitive adhesive or a resilient high-bond-strength thermally curable adhesive.” dupont said that the films enhanced thermal performance by 30 percent.

the thermal gap filler (temprion gf), also non-silicon, differs from other fillers on the market in its thixotropic properties that enable one-stage application. it also stays in place with no flow during operation under “harsh” conditions.

temperion at (adhesive tape) offers low levels of thermal impedance without the usual need for mechanical pressure. it delivers “grease-like wettability at low application pressures,” according to dupont. the company claimed that the tape achieves low thermal impedance at only 20 psi.

in a press release from the company, dupont electronic materials industrial segment leader itaru matsuyama said, “performance requirements continue to increase and with that comes added heat. temprion™ was specifically designed to meet these growing needs and reliably deliver performance that can be counted on for the lifetime of an application."
