Thermally Conductive Compounds

  • P-56A: Mineral filled, thermally conductive compound with excellent electrical properties.
  • P-116: Highly filled thermally conductive system with high Tg, low shrinkage and low water absorption. Recommended for high temperature applications.
  • P-178: Filled, thermally conductive compound with good flexibility and thermal shock resistance. Not recommended for high temperature applications.
