What kind of part is Keratherm 86/37? Many customer thought it is a thermal gap pad, but actually, Keratherm 86/37 is a thermally conductive insulator. It is fiberglass reinforced, elastomer coated on both sides.

Can GLPOLY offer a alternative to Keratherm 86/37? From the point of performance, GLPOLY XK-F20ST is equivalent to Keratherm 86/37. Let’s check the detail.

Keratherm 86/37 is a thermal insulator with 1.8W/mK of thermal conductivtity, the thermal conductivity is not high, but it provides a low thermal resistance of 0.2in2/W, compared to most of similar products, Bergquist, Laird or Fujipoly can’t offer a similar product with such a low thermal resistance. We can see that Keratherm 86/37 is really a high performance thermally conductive insulator.

How about GLPOLY XK-F20ST? GLPOLY XK-F20ST is a high performance, excellent eletrical insualtion thermally conductive insulator. Its thermal condcutivity is 2.3W/mK, it’s 0.5W/mK higher than Keratherm 86/37, and GLPOLY XK-F20ST’s thermal resistance is 0.2in2/W. We can find that, GLPOLY XK-F20ST thermal insulator provides thermal performance as excellent as Keratherm 86/37. Also, we had tested most of thermally conductive insulator that provided by Chinese manufacturers, GLPOLY provided the highest performance thermally conductive insulator.

GLPOLY XK-F20ST provides excellent eletrical property as well. Breakdown strength is over 3.5kV/mm, volume resistivity is 1x10^13Ωcm, offerring excellent electrical insulation.

GLPOLY XK-F20ST is a soft thermal film, it is conformable under low pressure, and it is easy to assemble because of self tack on both sides.

In conclusion, no matter the thermal performance or electrical property, GLPOLY XK-F20ST thermally conductive insulator can be alternative to Keratherm 86/37.
