Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs)
What is a Thermal Interface Material (TIM)?
TIM is a material used to fill the gap between parts that generate heat (i.e. IC chips) and parts that
dissipate them (i.e. heat sinks) in order to let the heat transfer and dissipate efficiently.
Zeon’s TIM can be applied to both TIM 1 and 2 applications.
Zeon’s Base Grade VB200
VB200 is a sheet-based high thermal conductivity TIM developed using special elastomer.
Facile Shaping and Resizing
Cutting and resizing are made fast, simple, and precise by use of our limited rebound elastomer and easy
handling design.
Basic Properties of VB200
Durability
- Form the structure above (Copper Plate+TIM+Aluminum Plate) and conduct heat resistance and durability
testing.
- Evaluate the thermal resistance of the structure.
Thermal performance maintains even after heat cycle testing and long term high
temperature exposure.
Mechanism for High Thermal Conductivity
- The alignment of anisotropic carbon filler with excellent in-plane thermal conductivity is
controlled.
- This means heat from one side of the material can be efficiently conducted to the other through
the fillers.
- Additionally, the elastomer matrix is exceptionally stable and can facilitate thermal conduction
without degradation.
