Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd. has developed and begun to market a low-hardness, high-thermally conductive silicone soft pad, the 'TC-CA Series,' that offers excellent cost-performance. The newly developed series of products have both high thermal conductivity and excellent electrical insulation properties, which stem from Shin-Etsu's advanced polymer and thermally conductive filler composite material technologies. In addition, compared to conventional products, the new silicone soft pad product combines such superior properties as (1) high thermal conductivity, (2) low-hardness that makes for good compressibility and a stress-relaxation property that can reduce stress to heat modules (3) excellent workability and processibility, and (4) low specific gravity. The main application of this new series of silicone soft pad products will be for countermeasures against the heat emanating from various electronics devices, such as those mounted in notebook PCs, LED lighting hybrid cars and electric cars, and it meets the need for thinner and lighter weight device applications.
