Offer Superior Heat Dissipation

Thermally conductive epoxy being brushed on the back of a heat sinkThermal management is of crucial importance to the electronics industry. Smaller, tightly packaged circuits and components create heat which ultimately affects the reliability and life of numerous electronic devices. With expectations for further miniaturization, the need for compounds to mitigate these problems is essential. In response to these needs, Master Bond has been in the forefront of developing thermal conductive compounds with superior performance properties.

Master Bond manufactures one and two component thermally conductive systems. They include epoxies, silicones and other elastomeric systems. Special formulations for unusual service conditions are available. They include serviceability to 500°F, at cryogenic temperatures, and in high vacuum environments as well as systems that are easily repairable. Designed for easy application, these compounds can be purchased in convenient packaging. They are used on heat sinks, fan sinks, package lids, motor controls, multiplexers, sensors, power semiconductors and thermistors. Toughened systems have been successfully employed in applications requiring resistance to shock, vibration and thermal cycling. To learn more, contact us today.
