A Cool Solution - New Heat Transfer Tapes for Electronic Systems

Heat is often the enemy of performance in today's intricate electronic systems, Techsil's two new thermally conductive, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes (TIM 202331 & TIM 202332) provide a cooling solution by efficiently transmitting heat away from sensitive components. These double-sided tapes are designed for bonding heat sinks on PCBs, LED strips and IC packages, mounting of ICs, GPUs, heat pipes and for heat sink assembly.

Techsil Trades Tape for Hotmelt Adhesive in Packaging Process
As industrial suppliers of adhesives, sealants and tapes Techsil send out hundreds of packages every week. Over 18 months ago we made the switch from using parcel tape to hotmelt to seal our boxes.

Originally the change was made for aesthetic reasons - the tidy finish on a box sealed with hot melt is a far neater method. However once we made the switch we then noticed not only how much quicker it was but also the cost saving benefit!  All very important factors to be considered when working on a large distribution scale.

Industrial Silicone Textile Coating Now Available at Techsil Online

Addition cure is fast becoming the preferred technology for textile coating with silicones. Solvents can usually be avoided and no by-products are generated during the cure. The addition reaction is very fast and work life can be adjusted to the needs of the application.

 

SLE5300 (a silicone liquid elastomer manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials) is an addition cure special friction coating material that penetrates closely knit fabric. SLE5300 cures to a white 33 Shore A rubber from a resin type product and makes an excellent choice when looking for a smooth and non-blocking surface.

  "We have been buying from Techsil since 2012 and so far it has been a great pleasure to do business with them. One of the main positives about Techsil is customer service and how responsive and pro active they are. Also worth mentioning is, that over the years Techsil showed interest in our business and offered help on many occasions which we really appreciate. I can only hope, that they will continue this great service for many more years. "
