Silicone free thermal pad GLPOLY XK-PN15F and Bergquist Gap Pad1000SF

It is undeniable that Bergquist is the leading enterprise in thermal interface materials field, customers recognise its quality, both on performance or on reliability. GLPOLY had developed thermal interface materials for 10 year, maybe there still is a gap with Bergquist, but it doesn’t mean all Bergquist products are top class. Some samll company can offer quality products because we focus on another product.

For example, we compare GLPOLY silicone free thermal pad XK-PN15F with Gap Pad 1000SF. Both XK-PN15F and Gap Pad 1000SF are silicone free thermal pad, with some advantages such as no silicone oil leakage, no siloxane volatiles, it is suitable for silicone sensitive applications. On physical properties, they are reinforcedby fiberglass for easy handling, improving puncture, shear and tear resistance.

There are some differences. For example, thermal performance. Gap Pad 1000SF’s thermal conductivity is 0.9W/mK, GLPOLY XK-PN15F’s thermal conductivity is well above that of Gap Pad1000SF, it’s up to 1.5W/mK. Let’s see thermal resistance. From the chart, we can see 1.7℃in2/W of thermal resistance for Gap Pad 1000SF. GLPOLY XK-PN15F shows a much low value, 0.91℃in2/W of thermal resistance. Obvously, GLPOLY XK-PN15F silicone free thermal pad offers a better thermal performance.

How about the electrical insulation? dielectric strength for both Gap Pad1000SF and GLPOLY XK-PN15F silicone free thermal pad are 6kV/mm and 10kV/mm respectively. GLPOLY XK-PN15 silicone free thermal pad is much more reliable.

GLPOLY had run silicone free thermal interface materials for 10 years, we can offer a lot of alternatives to related products of 3M, Bergquist or Fujipoly.
