Highly thermally conductive adhesive tapes are made of advanced thermal conductive PSA. They satisfy the demand of high adhesion and excellent thermal conductive efficiency by providing a preferential heat-transfer path between heat-generating components and heat sink or other cooling devices.

Core performance indicators of thermal conductive tape

Thermal conductivity (W/m·K): 0.5~5.0 W/m·K; the higher the value, the stronger the heat dissipation efficiency.

Insulation performance: breakdown voltage ≥3kV, to ensure the safety of electronic equipment.

Temperature range: 80℃ to 120℃, adapted to high-temperature working environments.

Bond strength: peel force ≥10N/cm, to ensure long-term stable bonding.

Thickness selection: 0.1 mm~1.0 mm, to meet different gap filling requirements.

Application scenarios of thermal conductive tape

Consumer electronics: heat dissipation of smartphone/laptop chip, LED backlight module fixation.

Automotive electronics: heat dissipation of vehicle power module, battery management system (BMS).

Industrial equipment: bonding of power devices of the inverter and the power inverter.

LED lighting: thermal conductive bonding between lamp beads and radiator.

New energy: photovoltaic inverter, energy storage battery, thermal management.

Market development trend of thermal conductive tape
