  • About thermally conductive insulator materials

    Our range of thermally conductive insulators are designed to solve over heating issues such as lower component efficiency, premature component failures, size limitations and other performance problems for today’s high power electronics.

    The film-based electrical insulator pads are available in a range of thicknesses, colours and tensile strengths to suit a variety of needs.

    The thermally conductive electrical insulator range is designed for the needs of consumer electronics, network infrastructure, automotive and industrial markets, for applications such as audio systems, home appliances, electrical power generators, telecommunications, automotive control units and stamped aluminium heat sinks.

    Thermally conductive insulator characteristics:

    • Standard and custom options are available
    • Resistant to tears and cut-through
    • High dielectric strength
    • UL94 VO rated options available
    • Pads do not dry out, crack or fail when pressed between mating parts, eliminating burrs as a problem
