Electrolube FTHC High-Performance Thermal Conductive Paste for Electronics Cooling
Basic Properties
Electrolube FTHC is a high-thermal-conductivity paste designed for efficient heat dissipation in electronic components. It features a silicone-based formulation with low thermal resistance, ensuring optimal heat transfer between heat-generating surfaces and cooling systems. The paste operates within a wide temperature range (-50°C to +200°C) and exhibits excellent electrical insulation properties, preventing short circuits in dense circuits. Its non-corrosive nature ensures compatibility with metals, plastics, and elastomers.
Product Description
FTHC addresses critical thermal management challenges in modern electronics by filling microscopic irregularities between surfaces, significantly reducing hotspot formation. Unlike traditional greases, it minimizes "pump-out" effects under thermal cycling and maintains stable viscosity under high stress. The paste is supplied in syringes for precision dispensing, supporting automated assembly lines. Compliance with ISO 9001 and REACH underscores its reliability and environmental safety.
Special Properties
FTHC’s key innovation lies in its 6.5 W/m·K thermal conductivity – a benchmark for high-power applications. The formula avoids silicone oil separation, ensuring long-term stability even at extreme temperatures. Its UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and resistance to chemicals (acids, fuels, glycols) make it ideal for automotive and industrial environments. Additionally, the material’s low modulus elasticity protects delicate components from mechanical stress.
Application Scenarios
FTHC is widely adopted in:
Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Systems: Manages heat in battery cells and power inverters, extending lifespan under high-current charging.
LED Drivers: Encapsulates high-brightness LED modules to prevent thermal degradation.
Industrial Power Electronics: Cools IGBT modules and motor controllers in automation equipment.Real-world cases include its use in EV battery thermal gap-filling (e.g., Electrolube’s GF600 variant) and BMS (Battery Management System) protection, where it mitigates thermal runaway risks.
