P-THERM® Phase Change Materials

P-THERM® thermally conductive phase change materials are non-silicone pads on siliconized paper release liners.  At 55°C, this material changes from a solid to a semi solid. The PCM flows and fills in irregular areas of the thermal interface surfaces, reducing the natural thermal resistance. While thermal grease may spill or flow out, the thixotropic characteristics of phase change materials reliably stay at the interface.

Polymer Science designs a tacky pad for ease of use and application. This design is easy to apply and resists contaminants during manufacturing. As electronic devices become more compact and increasingly powerful, manufacturers can rely on Polymer Science to consult on the most effective thermal management solutions.

Battery Components

Phase change materials may be used for battery cooling and managing heat of battery components. As battery technology and performance continues to advance, thermal management materials must meet greater requirements. Polymer Science is working on many materials including gap fillers, two-part dispensables and phase change materials to meet the increased demands of this industry.

Solar Panels

Solar panels and solar energy systems are a primary technology that is rapidly evolving. As the temperature within a solar photovoltaic panel rises, it becomes less efficient. Polymer Science gap filler and phase change materials manage the heat to protect electronic components within the panel and extend the usable lifespan of the panel.

Navigation & Infotainment Systems

Storing and converting energy within compact electronics is the primary function of phase change materials. Within mobile devices and automotive applications, phase change materials offer a reliable alternative to guard intricate systems like navigation & infotainment systems.

Smartphones

Sensitive components and limited space within smartphones requires durable thermal management. Polymer Science designs many materials including phase change materials to dissipate heat within these devices. Certain components like CPUs use phase change materials for thermal management.

Tablets

While designs are shrinking, performance demands of tablet computers continue to increase. Thermal management is a complex problem. Phase change materials are one solution that offers a reliable, lightweight material that fits easily into manufacturing processes.

Computers

Controlling the position of heat management within computers can be a complicated task. Phase change materials can be used to absorb peak energy loads within computers.

Gaming Systems

Protecting components during peak energy loads within gaming systems is very similar to computers. Phase change materials offer an easy to use solution for CPUs and other delicate components.
