Gel Material has thermal conductivity value of 3.8 W/mK.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 07:38:26 -0500

Gelease(TM) material, formulated with some cross-linking, has strength to stay in place and does not pump out. Movement is minimized as material has some cohesive strength, but is still soft so it can absorb movement of surfaces caused by thermal coefficient of expansion differences of assembled parts and maintain integrity of thermal path. Gelease was designed for syringe dispensing or stencil printing.
