DuPont Electronic Materials announced the launch of a new portfolio of heat management solutions under the brand name DuPont Temprion thermal management materials.
The Temprion portfolio is completely non-silicone and currently includes thermal greases, thermal gap fillers, electrically insulating films and adhesive, thermal tapes.
In applications such as hand-held devices, computers, car batteries and high-power electronic motors where heat dissipation is a major concern, the use of Temprion can improve performance, reduce the risk of failure and allow engineers to design with confidence, a release stated.
“Thermal management is a significant challenge for application engineers,” said DuPont Electronic Materials Industrial Segment Leader Itaru Matsuyama. “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.”
Thermal management materials play a key role in ensuring electronic devices and electrical assemblies run properly. If heat is not properly dissipated, fires and other events can occur, the release noted.
The issue of heat surfaced from the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and other devices. Reports of fires and smoke led to a ban of the Note 7 from commercial aircraft.
Batteries were initially blamed in the Note 7 case, although an investigation continues into the exact cause or causes.
