DuPont Electronic Materials today announced the launch of a new portfolio of thermal 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.  DuPont will showcase the Temprion portfolio at the upcoming electronica tradeshow in Munich, Germany, Nov. 8-11, 2016, in hall C4, booth 210.

“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 critical role in ensuring electronic devices and electrical assemblies run properly.  If heat is not properly dissipated, it can result in catastrophic failure, including fire.  The Temprion™ portfolio of products offer excellent thermal conductivity, lower thermal resistance, greater heat dissipation and improved thermal stability during continuous use. 

The portfolio currently includes:

• DuPont Temprion electrically insulating films – offer thermal conductivity and thermal resistance that are nearly two times higher performing than next best alternative competitive product; ideal for power electronic, consumer devices, and lithium-ion batteries.
• DuPont Temprion thermal greases – dispensable and designed for thin bond-line applications such as in LEDs and CPUs.
• DuPont Temprion thermal gap fillers – dispensable and designed for thick or multiple bond-line applications such as in power modules and automotive applications.
• DuPont Temprion adhesive thermal tapes – offer low thermal resistance at low application pressure for bonding heatsinks or heat spreaders in applications such as computers and LED lighting.

In addition to Temprion, DuPont also offers a number of complementary thermal materials including:

• DuPont Kapton MT+ polyimide film – offers the highest thermal conductivity with the electrical and mechanical durability expected from the Kapton brand.
• DuPont Kapton RS polyimide film – electrically conductive polyimide film with a constant resistivity that can be used in a variety of flexible heater applications.
