It is not precise to judge a thermally conductive adhesive by bonding strength only, but need to take thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, application condition, hardness and electrical insulation.
Some purchasing officers don’t know well about thermal adhesives, they just focus on bonding strength and ingore other features. To a professional thermal management engineer, more detail would be considered.
An EV manufacturer from Hangzhou found us from internet and ask about thermally conductive adhesive with a bonding strength of 7MPa at least.
After we knew about customer’s appication, we found out that 7MPa is not strong enough to ensure bonding between modules. So we recommended XK-D12, a 1.2W/mK thermally conductive adhesive with a bonding strength of 8MPa which exceeds design requirements. This product will deflect and fill gaps easily under low compressive force, decreasing stress on components thus decreasing component failure.
Customer asked for samples for test. Two weeks later, they told me that they satified with test result. The temperature of battery pack keeps at 50 centigrade degree. Compared with what rivals’ products done, GLPOLY thermally conductive adhesive XK-D12 provides temperature rise by 30% off. Customer was even more surprised to find out that the bonding didn’t loose up and kept modules integrated. Customer decided to use GLPOLY XK-D12 thermally conductive adhesive finally in volume production.
GLPOLY XK-D12 is produced by fully automated production system for product consistency, eliminating artificial error, improving productivity and saving cost.
GLPOLY thermal management materials has been providing for Huawei, NIO EV etc top class brands, even more it has been applied to military equipment in 2019 National Day Parade.
GLPOLY thermally conductive adhesives outperform most of competitive products including world class brands.
