Thermally conductive adhesive tape is a low-cost and simple method of attaching a heat sink to a surface. It is available in a variety of sizes and can be cut to fit a variety of contact areas. The tape's shear strength and elasticity will determine its suitability for various applications. The adhesion requirements for a given surface will depend on its thermal performance and shear strength. The correct application and surface preparation should be followed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Thermally conductive adhesive tape combines mechanical attachment with improved thermal conductivity. It is a two-sided thermally tape that combines the benefits of mechanical attachment with excellent thermal transfer. Bondline materials provide cost-effective thermal management and form a tight bond between two surfaces. They are easy to handle and come in sheet and roll formats. The material is non-toxic and compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations. The thermally conductive adhesive tape is ideal for applications requiring a high-performance, heat-resistant bond.
Thermal adhesive tapes are often used in the electronics industry to connect two surfaces. Their adhesive properties can be improved by applying thermal paste. Adding a small amount of thermal paste to the adhesive can weaken the bond between two surfaces. However, mixing two different types of tapes will not damage your components. It will be easier to apply thermal tape to a surface when it's mixed with a silicone-treated polyester release liner.
The most common types of thermal adhesive tapes are single-sided, double-sided, and reinforced. Single-sided tapes are generally better for joining components, while double-sided tapes are suitable for gluing LED lights and heat-sinks. The use of this type of thermal tape depends on the surface energy of the substrate.
