Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output of ASTM D5470 thermal conductivity test?
Parker Chomerics use ASTM D5470 their standard performance test method. This measures thermal impedance (resistance) of a flat disk-shaped specimen or controlled volume of a liquid thermal interface material (TIM) between two flat polished calorimeter surfaces under controlled load.
Is there a recommended surface roughness?
Is there a recommended surface roughness?
As a general rule, increased surface roughness will create a larger surface area available for wetting. For vertical applications, increased surface roughness will provide a greater resistance to slide. Generally, increasing the shot size, contact area and surface roughness will aid in slide resistance of the material. Surface roughness of N8 or rougher is recommended.
What materials do you recommend where applications require thin bondline thickness from a thermally conductive material?
This type of application would require a smooth/flat surface roughness. For this we recommend Ablefilm, Thermattach tapes, Cho-Therm, thermal greases or pastes/gels.
