Thermal Gap Fillers
Gap pads or fillers provide an effective thermal interface between heat sinks and electronic devices where uneven surface topography , air gaps and rough surface textures are present. These filled silicone polymer sheets are used to provide thermal solutions when interface gaps are greater than 0.5mm. They are easy-to handle, re-workable and excellent for complicated die cut shapes. They offer good compression for stress relief and shock dampening.
Pronat offers a full range of thermally conductive materials as shown below. These materials have been selected for their excellent conductivity rating ( W/m-K) for each thickness sector, soft/hard parameters and consistent durability under stress.

Thin Thermal Conductive Pads
These standard or fabric reinforced silicone polymer sheets are used to provide thermal management solutions where interface gaps are less than 0.50mm. These materials can be used for low cost thermal transfer requiring minimal thickness, high physical and mechanical characteristics. The fiberglass/silicone compound construction provides excellent cut through resistance, good thermal conductivity and excellent electrical insulation.

Keratherm® Ceramic tape
KERATHERM® are highly flexible products made of thermally conductive and electrically insulating single or multi-component polymers, which are filled with ceramic or thermally conductive materials.
Keratherm® thermal interface materials ensures efficient cooling of the electronic components by connecting the heat source to the heat sink.
A mechanical reinforcement of Keratherm® by means of integrated glass fiber fabric or other materials offers the user a versatile product. Due to its flexibility and very good physical properties, extensive applications in electronics is possible.
Keratherm® is commonly used in conjunction with power electronics inautomotive applications such as batteries, electric powertrains, LED lighting, on-board chargers, sensors and much more.
- Keratherm® thermal conductive foils have a high thermal conductivity and have an electrically insulating effect.
- By using Keratherm® products, assembly problems such as smearing and assembly errors can be avoided.
- Compared to conventional heat conducting materials, Keratherm® products do not dry out in continuous use and therefore retain their good heat conducting properties for years.
- In contrast to discs made of mica, aluminum or polyamides, Keratherm® products can be used without thermal paste.
- Silicone-based Keratherm® facilitates component assembly due to its self-adhesive properties .
